Little Mermaid
What a wonderful sight to behold. Such beautiful corals and so many adorable fish.

But if I wish to meet him, I must go on land... The thought alone terrifies me...
Little Nene
(Going on land must be really scary for her since she's lived in the ocean her whole life...)
Little Nene
(It's like when we moved into our new house. That was really scary for me too...)

(Rui said he'd be my friend, but I'm not sure the other kids at school will...)
Little Mermaid
Diving into an unknown world is terrifying, but not being able to because of my own fears would be much worse!

Rui
But you really surprised me when you started conversing with guppies in the river as part of reenacting that scene where she speaks with the fish.
Emu
Yeah, I totally get it! Everybody wanted to talk to fishies and animals when they were little!
Nene
Yeah, her name's Yuka Kazamatsuri.
She usually does musicals most of the time, but I might've seen her on TV first.

Nene
Yeah. She lives in the United States now and has been performing in shows all around the world.
Nene
But she's scheduled to come back this year, so I'm really looking forward to seeing her again.
Rui
Yes, that's very exciting news.
Hold on... Isn't she supposed to perform at a venue near the Otori resort?

Yes, that's a great idea!
I'm sure it'll be okay as long as it doesn't interfere with our work as ambassadorial duties.

That'd be nice but...
She isn't scheduled to perform until after we're gone, so I don't think we'll be able to...

Emu
But you know what, Nene, I feel like we should choose the Little Mermaid after hearing your story!
Rui
I agree. We even have access to a romantic beach that can serve as the stage for when the Little Mermaid meets her man.
Emu
In the fairytale version, isn't the Little Mermaid supposed to pass away in the end...?
Tsukasa
True... That means it's technically a tragedy, which would be the opposite of what we should be performing as ambassadors...
Rui
Yes. We can think of a new story that's based on the Little Mermaid we all know and love.
Rui
Since it's so famous, we should be able to make adjustments to it rather easily while still being accessible to any children that may be in the audience.
Tsukasa
Yes, that sounds fantastic!
Even those that come and join partway through should be able to understand what's going on.

Then it's settled!
For our first shows as ambassadors, we'll be paying homage to the Little Mermaid!

If you're paying homage to the Little Mermaid, it may be good to include a scene such as this...
Miku
Oh, if I were the Little Mermaid, I might flap around on the beach like a fish the first time I come ashore!

The script's done!
It has to be one of Rui's best works yet! It even includes quite a few of your guys' suggestions!

Hehe. It's so different from what I'm used to and might even have a little too much going on...

Hah hah hah! Once again, we shall be performing a show worthy of a future star such as myself!
Rui
All of you, that was a flawless rehearsal. I'm sure we'll be able to turn that beach into something very special.
MEIKO
Still, this is incredible! I can't figure out how you went from the Little Mermaid to this!
Len
Yeah!
I've never seen a rendition of the Little Mermaid before that was this happy and fun!

Rin
Um, Luka, what if we also tried performing the Little Mermaid☆ I bet it'd be a lot of fun!
Luka
I think so too. Especially since mermaids can just glide so gracefully through the water. It must be such a wonderful sensation.
Luka
A white, sandy beach... The soft sound of waves... And the sun glimmering in the sky...
Luka
Oh, but if you do get a chance to look around, would you mind showing me what it's like...?
Nene
The first two days are supposed to be the busiest, but we might be able to squeeze in from free time while we're cleaning up on the night of the third day.

Also, weren't you just at the Seaside School not long ago with Saki and everyone else?
Emu
But it's more sparkly and exciting when I'm with you guys because I know it's gonna be a super wonderhoy carnival...!
Rui
Shall we start unpacking our props and equipment? We're going live just after our morning rehearsal, so we'll need to work quickly.
