Merprince

Listen

No, how did we let the humans capture us...?
2

Littler Mermaid

Listen

What do we do?! What do we do?!
3

Merprince

Listen

We need to find a way to escape...!
I know! Let's head towards that window and see if we can get out!
4

Tsukasa

Listen

(Huh...?
That was Nene's cue to appear...
Where is she...?)
5

Tsukasa

Listen

(Wait, could she be in trouble...?!)
6

Little Mermaid

Listen

*Huff*... *Huff*... *Huff*...
7

Little Mermaid

Listen

Oh no, they got caught!! What do I do...?!
8

Tsukasa

Listen

(Ah, there she is!
Now to slowly exit the stage...)
9

Emu

Listen

Hm? What's Robo-Nene doing back here? Isn't her scene coming up really soon...?
10

Rui

Listen

Sadly, she ran into a bit of trouble. Some children decided to play rough with her, which caused her to malfunction.
11

Tsukasa

Listen

What?!
12

Tsukasa

Listen

C-Can you fix her?!
Without Robo-Nene, the final scene won't...
13

Rui

Listen

Nene promised to buy me some time.
14

Rui

Listen

I'll keep doing what I can here, so please help her as best you can, both of you.
15

Emu

Listen

Okie-dokie!
16

Emu

Listen

B-But what should we do?!
We're not supposed to go back out until after Nene's scene. If we go now, it'll ruin the whole story...!
17

Tsukasa

Listen

Right... The next scene is where Nene transforms after drinking the strange potion.
18

Tsukasa

Listen

But how can we help her during all that...?
19

Little Mermaid

Listen

What do I do...? There's no way I can save them both...

Nene

Listen

(Normally, this is when I'm supposed to drink my potion and save them...)
21

Nene

Listen

(But I need to keep stalling until Robo-Nene's back on her feet...!)
22

Little Mermaid

Listen

No! You know what, I don't care about what happens to those two.
23

Little Mermaid

Listen

I kept telling them that going anywhere near these humans was really dangerous...
24

Little Mermaid

Listen

But...
25

Little Mermaid

Listen

I got to see and experience so many new things because of them too.
26

Little Mermaid

Listen

And not all humans are bad. The food they make is really good...
27

Little Mermaid

Listen

And because of them...
28

Children

Mommy, what's gonna happen to the merprince?
29

Children

Save them!
30

Nene

Listen

(It's just a little bit, but I think I managed to buy us some time.)
31

Nene

Listen

(Still, I can't keep making the audience run around in circles like this. What else can I do...?)
32

Yuka

Listen

...
33

Nene

Listen

(Oh...!
Ms. Kazamatsuri...!)
34

Nene

Listen

(What would she do at a time like this...?)
35

Nene

Listen

(If I were in her shoes when she was the Little Mermaid all those years ago...)

Little Mermaid

Listen

Diving into an unknown world is terrifying, but not being able to because of my own fears would be much worse!

Nene

Listen

(I just have to sing!)
41

Little Mermaid

Listen

The thought of standing up against humans terrifies me. Just thinking about all the terrible things that could happen to me because of that scares me so much...
42

Little Mermaid

Listen

But I can't just leave them behind...!
43

Little Mermaid

Listen

I have to muster up as much courage as I can.
44

Little Mermaid

Listen

I need to be brave like the Little Mermaid when she decided to go ashore...!

Nene, that was super duper extra wonderhoy!! Your song was really really wonderhoy too!!

Nene

Emu, don't scare me like that. You're gonna shorten my lifespan even more...
71

Tsukasa

Listen

But I agree with Emu. Nicely done with those improvisations, Nene! Your song was wonderful too!
72

Rui

Listen

Yes, it was.
You kept the scene and story afloat despite the intense pressure. We couldn't have asked for more.
73

Rui

Listen

Thank you, Nene.
You gave our audience a wonderful reason to smile.
74

Nene

Listen

I-It was nothing, really...
75

Rui

Listen

No, you should be proud of what you just did. You looked at the situation and did whatever you could as an actress for your audience.
76

Emu

Listen

Yeah!
You became a really twinkly star!
77

Tsukasa

Listen

Grr... I don't like relinquishing my throne, but today, you've earned it! You're the MVP!

She still has that same aura about her.

Nene

Listen

Thank you for taking the time to come and visit!
85

Yuka

Listen

No, it's my pleasure. I should be thanking you for putting on such a wonderful show. Actually, that's what I'd like to discuss with you if you don't mind...
86

Nene

Listen

R-Really?!
Oh, but... I still have to clean up...
87

Emu

Listen

It's okay, Nene! We'll take care of that, so talk as much as you like♪
88

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, go! We insist!
89

We should be able to wrap things up there, so please, don't hesitate.

Nene

Listen

Th-Thanks...
91

Yuka

I apologize for dropping in unannounced like that.
92

Yuka

Anyway, shall we? How about we head towards the beach and get out of your friends' hair?

Nene

Listen

Y-Yes!
Thank you for being so considerate!
