Phoenix Wonderland
Wonder Stage
1
Nene
Oh, it was the first movie club meeting we've had in a while, but it lasted longer than I expected...
2
Nene
I'm guessing the others have started practicing for... Hm?
3
Tsukasa
W-Wahhh!!
Too high! Too high!
4
Emu
Wow! That's so awesome!
That suit lets you jump super high!
5
Rui
Hehehe. I've made several improvements to the Star Training Suit so that you'll now be able to leap up to the stage with little to no effort.
6
Tsukasa
I don't care! How do I stop this thing?! Rui, let me down!!
7
Nene
*Sigh*
They're at it again.
8
Nene
Hey, guys. Sorry for being late...
9
Emu
Hi, Nene!
10
Rui
Oh, you got here sooner than I expected. Did your club meeting end already?
11
Nene
Yeah. All we did was write up some activity reports. More importantly, he...
12
Tsukasa
Tell me how to stop this thing right now!!
13
Nene
Could you please stop that thing so that he'll shut up...?
14
Tsukasa
Ugh... My head's still bouncing up and down...
15
Nene
Anyway, Tsukasa's finally back, so can we get started with practice?
16
Tsukasa
Hey, don't you know what I went through just now?!
17
Nene
Will you shut... Well, you seem okay now, so let's get started...
18
Emu
Oh, Nene!
There's something we need to talk about before we start!
19
Nene
There is?
20
Rui
Yes, indeed.
It's actually just about time for...
21
Rui
Ah, there they are.
22
Nene
Huh? They...?
23
Nene
Hang on, they're Emu's...!
24
Emu
Big bros!
Welcome♪
25
Shosuke
Guh!
What did I tell you about tackling people?!
26
Tsukasa
Ah, I know that feeling all too well...
27
Nene
Them being here means...
Is this about us becoming ambassadors?
28
Keisuke
Yes, you are correct.
29
Keisuke
Allow me to explain once more.
Phoenix Wonderland would like you to become its ambassadors and travel outside of the park to promote it.
30
Tsukasa
Yes, and you can both rest easy because your park is in good hands! We promise not to disappoint!
31
Rui
But there is one question I'd like to ask before we proceed. Promoting the park does seem necessary, but why make us ambassadors?
32
Rui
Initially, we were going to use social media as a promotional platform, but now you wish to have us travel outside of the park to promote it. Why is that?
33
Keisuke
Ah, that's because we've changed our target demographic.
34
Nene
You have...?
35
Shosuke
Fortunately, your little stunt helped attract the younger generation of guests we were after.
36
Shosuke
Which is why we've decided to set our sights on those living in other parts of the country.
37
Shosuke
This park is at the heart of Shibuya, so it is able to attract many guests from within the city. However, we rarely ever see guests traveling great distances to visit.
38
Keisuke
Compared with other parks, our IP share is on the low side. As a result, we don't have a reliable way of attracting guests from other parts of the country.
39
Keisuke
Partnering with Riley Entertainment remedies some of these issues, but we've decided not to rely so much on existing IPs.
40
Rui
I see...
And you wish to make us the faces of the park because of the success we found through social media.
41
Keisuke
Indeed. Rumors of how you're all high school students have even begun spreading, which has only added to your fame.
42
Keisuke
Today, we'd like to relay the details of yesterday's meeting, as well as where your first stop will be.
43
Tsukasa
Fantastic! So the first stop on my road to stardom has already been decided!
44
Emu
Yay!!
And?! Where do we get to go?!
45
Keisuke
Yes, your first destination will be Phoenix Ocean Resort.
46
Nene
What?! Phoenix Ocean Resort?! The five-star hotel...?!
47
Rui
I see. Phoenix Hotel & Resort being an Otori Group subsidiary would make things quite a bit easier for us as well.
48
Nene
Wh-Why do you know all that, Rui?
49
Rui
Hehe. I decided to look up what I could about the Otori Group while I was coming up with ideas for our last show.
50
Tsukasa
A five-star resort would be the perfect stage for a star such as myself!
51
Nene
But I feel like people who go to fancy resorts aren't really the same as the people who like going to amusement parks...
52
Keisuke
That shouldn't be an issue.
We're interested in not the hotel-goers but those coming to visit the beach.
53
Tsukasa
Huh? What do you mean?
54
Keisuke
Phoenix Ocean Resort has an open-air Beach Stage that already attracts a lot of visitors due to it being a sort of public amphitheater.
55
Keisuke
We would like you to put on a show that is not only family friendly, like the ones you are already doing, but also appeals to a wider audience.
56
Tsukasa
I see.
I can't wait to see the Beach Stage...!
57
Rui
I came across some information regarding this stage. Apparently, it's literally built where the sea meets the sand.
58
Rui
Hehehe... We should be able to include some effects that we normally don't get to...
59
Emu
Yeah! A show by the sea!
Yay!! Cannonball!!
60
Shosuke
Hey, will all of you settle down a little? Try not to forget that you're ambassadors for this park.
61
Tsukasa
We know!
We promise to give you the best show possible!
62
Keisuke
You're scheduled to perform for three days. One performance in the morning and one in the evening each day for a total of six times.
63
Keisuke
Next, regarding what facilities will be available to you...
64
Nene
...
65
Nene
(I can't believe we're staying at the hotel and performing there for three days...)
66
Nene
(I thought they were just gonna have us appear as guests for small events or local festivals and stuff.)
67
Nene
(Can we really help promote the park...? Doing shows outside of the park is probably gonna feel really different compared to normal...)
68
Rui
Hm? Is something bothering you, Nene? You seem concerned...
69
Nene
N-No, it's nothing...
70
Rui
I'm not sure what's on your mind, but I'm certain that it's nothing you need to be afraid of...
71
Rui
We've already succeeded in putting on a show that hundreds of guests got to see and helped change the course of Phoenix Wonderland's future.
72
Rui
Traveling about to perform shows should feel like nothing at all to you at this point, no?
73
Nene
...!
74
Nene
Yeah, I guess you're right...
75
Nene
(We managed to pull off something that crazy, so we should be fine even if we're somewhere that's completely new to us.)
76
Keisuke
Again, your audience will include both children and adults, so in terms of what to perform, we'd like you to do something light and cheerful.
77
Keisuke
As long as you meet those prerequisites, the rest will be up to you.
78
Shosuke
But no funny business, got it?
We can't have you pulling another one of your stunts...
79
Rui
Funny business...?
I believe that depends on your definition of the word funny...
80
Shosuke
You're already planning something, aren't you...?
81
Tsukasa
No matter. It is settled! We will perform a light and cheerful show that visitors of all ages can enjoy while promoting Phoenix Wonderland!
82
Tsukasa
And we'll show everyone just how great Wonderlands×Showtime is at the same time!
83
Emu
Yeah! We promise to make everything super fun and bring back as many guests as we can!
84
Keisuke
Good. We'll be counting on you, Emu...
85
Tsukasa
So why don't we get started by coming up with some show ideas? Any thoughts?
86
Emu
Oh, I know! We get to go to the beach this time, so why don't we do a show about us being fish on an undersea adventure?!
87
Tsukasa
The sea, huh? What about pirates?
We could bury some treasure on the beach and dig it up during our performance!
88
Rui
Yes, everything we need for a pirate show does seem to be in place.
89
Rui
Is there anything you'd like to do, Nene?
90
Nene
The sea...
Well...
91
Nene
It's a tad old-fashioned, but the Little Mermaid might be nice...
92
Tsukasa
The Little Mermaid? That's also a good idea.
93
Emu
Do you like the Little Mermaid, Nene?
94
Nene
Yeah. I saw a rendition of it when I was little, and I can still remember how amazing the lead actress was at singing... I doubt I'll ever forget it...
95
Nene
She's the reason I decided to start performing in shows and stuff.
96
Nene
(That was such a long time ago. Back then, I...)
97
Little Nene
(Wow, there's so many people...!)
98
Little Nene
(I can't wait to hear the mermaid sing! What do you think she's gonna be like?)
99
Little Nene
(Oh, it's starting...!)
