Minori
Hmm...
Shiho's been gone a long time...
2
Haruka
Yeah, you're right. She did mention something about Tenma's group needing a little more time before they perform...
3
Minori
Oh, right... I've been meaning to ask Kohane about that since she's in Saki's group, but I haven't seen her for a while now either...
4
Haruka
Oh, there go the lights. Does this mean that they're about to start...?
5
Haruka
Huh? Wait, is that...?
6
Saki
Hello, everyone♪
Welcome to Saki and Emu's magic show!
7
Saki
We were actually supposed to do our real performance now, but we ran into some trouble and need a little more time to get ready...
8
Saki
We apologize for making you all wait like this! But in the meantime, we'd like to do a magic show for you! We hope you like it♪
9
Minori
They ran into some trouble? So they're doing a magic show instead...?
10
Haruka
I don't really understand either, but I guess they're buying time for their other group members...?
11
Saki
Alright, I hope you're ready.
Presenting our great magician, Emu!

Miku's Voice
<Emu! Can you hear me?>
13
Emu
Yup! Loud and clear☆ But it's funny how you're sitting in my pocket like this, Miku♪
14
Miku's Voice
<Right? It's like I'm your fairy companion.>
15
Emu
Hehe. Especially since we're the same height in SEKAI!
16
Emu
Anyway, Miku, I'll be counting on your help...!
17
Miku's Voice
<You got it! I'll tell you exactly what you need to do, so don't worry☆>
18
Emu
Thanks!
Alright, let's use our magic to make everyone smile!
19
Saki
Let's give our star a big round of applause!!
20
Emu
Hi, everybody!!
Welcome to our magic show!
21
Emu
Let's start with an extra special trick☆
Out of this hat, many things will appear!
22
Minori
Oh, this is better than I expected! I can't wait to see what happens!
23
Haruka
Me too. Otori's a seasoned stage performer, so I'm sure she'll do great.
24
Emu
Now, Saki, if you'll repeat after me...♪
Cards! Cards! Wherever you are!
25
Saki
Okay!
Uh... Cards! Cards! Wherever you are!
26
Emu
Ta-daah!
Cards everywhere!!
27
Saki
Whoa, that's amazing...!
So many playing cards...!
28
Minori
What?! Was she hiding all those cards in her hat?!
29
Haruka
Maybe, I'm not sure...! I wonder how she did it...
30
Emu
(Honami and Kohane still aren't back yet, huh...?)
31
Emu
(Shiho said that she'll give us a signal when they did...)
32
Emu
(I'm sure they're doing their best. That means Saki and I need to keep trying too...!)
33
Emu
Next, these cards will magically turn into... Mr. Fishy!
34
Saki
What? Mr. Fishy?
35
Emu
Three, two, one... Wonderhoy!!
36
Saki
Whoa, they turned into a fish plushie!
37
Minori
Haruka, that was so cool!
How on earth did she just do that?!
38
Haruka
I don't know either.
It's also incredible how they had time to work on this alongside their actual performance...
39
Emu
And to finish, let's return our little fishy friend back to its home in the ocean!
40
Saki
Back into the ocean?
How?
41
Emu
Heh heh heh. Leave that to the great Emu☆
42
Emu
Let's all say farewell to our friend, everyone! Three, two, one, wonderhoy!!
43
Saki
What?! It turned into blue confetti...?!
44
Minori
Oh, it's so pretty!!
45
Haruka
It is...!
It's like the stage is the ocean now...
46
Emu
Mr. Fishy made it back to the ocean!
47
Emu
Oh...
48
Emu
(Thank goodness, they made it back! We did it, Saki! We can do our real performance now!)
49
Emu
And Mr. Fishy being back home in the ocean means our magic show must sadly come to an end!
50
Saki
Thanks, everyone! We hope you enjoyed it!
51
Emu
Bye bye!!
52
Honami
Thank you for being so patient!
53
Kohane
Yes, thank you both. How did you come up with that act so fast...?
54
Saki
Hona! Kohane!
You made it!!
55
Emu
I'm so glad you're both back!
56
Emu
Luckily, Saki did super duper good, so everything went really smoothly!
57
Saki
Shiho helped too!
58
Shiho
Hardly. Well, maybe a little...
59
Honami
I see...
Thank you so much.
60
Honami
Now then, shall we get ready?
61
Kohane & Saki
Yeah!!
62
Emu
Thanks, Miku. That magic show was so much fun!
63
Miku
<You're very welcome!
I'm glad everyone liked it♪>
64
Miku
<I hope your song goes just as well! I'll be cheering for you, Emu!>
65
Emu
Yeah!!
It's gonna be amazing!
66
Shiho
Hey, I'm back.
67
Minori
Shiho!
Where were you?
68
Shiho
Something came up and...
69
Minori
Oh, I think they're about to start!
70
Honami
(This is it...!)
71
Honami
(We practiced so much. On top of that, Emu and Saki did a second performance for us. I have to give this everything I have...!)
72
Honami
We really appreciate your patience, everyone! I hope you enjoy our performance!
73
Emu
We'll be singing a really wonderhoy song for you!!
74
Saki
Ready, Kohane?
75
Kohane
Ready!

We'll be performing...!

It fit in perfectly, like it was meant for this song.)
