Luka

Listen

<The sea's so beautiful and calm at night. There are so many stars out tonight too...>
2

Nene

Listen

Yeah, you're right.
They really are beautiful.

Nene

Luka

Listen

<Um, Nene...?>
5

Luka

Listen

<I overheard a part of the conversation you just had with that actress.>
6

Nene

Listen

Huh?
7

Luka

Listen

<You two seemed to be having so much fun together, so I got a little curious... I apologize for eavesdropping like that.>
8

Nene

Listen

No, it's okay. You don't need to apologize...
9

Nene

Listen

Her stories were so interesting, weren't they? Visiting all those places, performing shows everywhere and meeting so many different people...
10

Nene

Listen

It must be a lot of fun being able to do shows like that.
11

Nene

Listen

(But...)

Yuka

Which is why leaving them was so hard...
13

Nene

Listen

(But if it means making my dreams come true...)

Nene

15

Luka

Listen

<Um, Nene?>
16

Luka

Listen

<Are you wondering if you have to leave your friends someday to make your dreams come true?>
17

Nene

Listen

...!

Nene

Listen

I...

Nene

Yes...
20

Nene

Listen

After listening to Ms. Kazamatsuri's stories, I'm wondering if I'll have to make that same choice one day...

21

Luka

Listen

<I see...>
22

Nene

Listen

But I can't see myself leaving everyone to pursue a different goal.
23

Nene

Listen

I think I convinced myself somewhere along the way that we'll keep doing this forever or something...
24

Nene

Listen

It was a hard pill to swallow...
25

Luka

Listen

<Nene...>
26

Nene

Listen

We have our own dreams that we want to come true and work hard every day to make them happen.
27

Nene

Listen

So we inevitably might have to go our separate ways someday...
28

Luka

Listen

<Yes, I see. You may have no choice if you're all pursuing different dreams...>
29

Nene

Listen

Yes...
30

Luka

Listen

<Oh...>
31

Luka

Listen

<I'm sorry...
I can't say for sure what would be best for you, Nene.>
32

Nene

Listen

No, please, don't apologize.
It's my fault for bringing this up...
33

Luka

Listen

<But Nene...>
34

Luka

Listen

<I want you to be the one to figure out what's truly best for you.>
35

Luka

Listen

<And I'll do whatever I can to help you find that answer.>
36

Nene

Listen

Luka...
37

Nene

Listen

Thank you.
38

Nene

Listen

(Luka's such a nice person...)
39

Nene

Listen

(I don't have to do this alone.
That's what she wanted me to know.)

Emu's Voice

Listen

Neneee!!!!
41

Nene

Listen

That voice... Eep!
Emu?

Don't forget us, Nene.

Luka

Listen

<Oh, the gang's all here.>
44

Emu

Listen

Hey, it's Luka!
Good evening!
45

Nene

Listen

What are you guys still doing here? I thought you were heading back to the hotel once you finished cleaning up.
46

Tsukasa

Listen

Heh heh heh. We have some good news, Nene!
47

Robo-Nene

Listen

Good news!
48

Nene

Listen

Good news?
49

Emu

Listen

All the advance tickets for Phoenix Wonderland we came here to promote just sold out!
50

Nene

Listen

What? Already?
51

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes! It's only natural considering how great our performances were! Hah hah hah!!
52

Rui

Listen

To celebrate us taking our first big steps as ambassadors, we were thinking about doing this.
53

Nene

Listen

These are... Fireworks?
54

Luka

Listen

<Oh, that sounds fun♪>
55

Nene

Listen

Where did you get these?
56

Rui

Listen

Emu found a shop nearby that was selling them.
57

Tsukasa

Listen

We have to head back home tomorrow, so this is really our only chance to do something like this!
58

Emu

Listen

Yay!
Sparkle-sparkle-BOOM!!
59

Nene

Listen

I don't have a problem with Sparkle-sparkle, Emu, but no BOOM, okay?
60

Rui

Listen

Agreed.
No need to put ourselves in harm's way.
61

Nene

Listen

Really, Rui? You of all people...?
Anyway, whatever...
62

Tsukasa

Listen

Now, it's time for some fireworks!!

Luka, look!
It changed colors!

Beep... Fireworks are no match for Robo-Nene.

Luka

Listen

<Oh, would you look at that.>
66

Tsukasa

Listen

Emu, what are you doing?! Don't run towards me! I'm downwind from you... *Cough*... Hack...!
67

Nene

Listen

Hehe...
68

Rui

Listen

Those two seem like they're enjoying themselves.
69

Rui

Listen

By the way, Nene, what did you talk about with her...?
70

Nene

Listen

Oh, um... We talked about a lot of stuff.
71

Nene

Listen

Like what happened behind the scenes while she was performing overseas and how hard she had to work to get where she is today...
72

Rui

Listen

Hehe. Sounds like you had a nice chat with her.
73

Nene

Listen

Yeah.
...
74

Rui

Listen

Hm? Was there something else?
75

Nene

Listen

Yeah, I started wondering about the future while I was talking to her. About us...
76

Rui

Listen

Our future...?

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

77

Nene

Listen

I'm less clear about what I want to do moving forward compared to before.
78

Rui

Listen

I see...
79

Rui

Listen

Our future...
That's quite a lot to think about.
80

Rui

Listen

Especially since we each have our own dreams and goals.
81

Nene

Listen

Yeah...
But Rui...
82

Nene

Listen

I plan on figuring out what's truly best for me and what I really want to do on my own.
83

Rui

Listen

Hehe...
84

Rui

Listen

I thought this while you were improvising today, but you've come quite a long way.
85

Nene

Listen

What are you talking about?
I'm not a little kid, you know?
86

Rui

Listen

Hehe. I mean every word.
87

Rui

Listen

But I see your point...
What's truly best for Nene Kusanagi...
88

Rui

Listen

If you ever need any help, feel free to ask me. I'll help you find the right answer in whatever way I can.
89

Nene

Listen

Hehe...
Thanks, Rui.
90

Rui

Listen

For starters...
I'll give you the best answer I can think of right now.
91

Nene

Listen

Right now?
92

Rui

Listen

Yes. We should enjoy this moment and have as much fun as we can!

Nene

Hehe. Yeah.
95

Emu

Listen

Nene, Rui, look!
This one's really big!
96

Tsukasa

Listen

Wait, that's not a sparkler!
You're supposed to shoot that one into the air!
97

Emu

Listen

Oh, okay! Lemme try that!
Hm...? It won't light...

98

Rui

Listen

This is a perfect opportunity to test out Robo-Nene's new gadget!
99

Nene

Listen

What?
You didn't make it so she can start fires, did you?
100

Rui

Listen

I did. I've dubbed it the Robo-Nene Firestarter! Or more simply, a flamethrower that comes out of Robo-Nene's mouth...
101

Tsukasa

Listen

Are you serious?!
You have to disable it!
102

Rui

Listen

Haha. I was just kidding.
I'll just use the spare lighter in my pocket.

Wow☆ It's so pretty!
104

Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, a spectacle worthy of a star such as myself!
105

Rui

Listen

Oh, Tsukasa could have fireworks attached to his back... No, it may be easier to launch him by packing him with the fireworks...
106

Tsukasa

Listen

Hey, I can hear you!
107

Nene

Listen

Hehe...
108

Luka

Listen

<They seem to be having quite a bit of fun, Nene.>
109

Nene

Listen

Yeah...
110

Nene

Listen

(As we really start pursuing our own dreams, we may have to make some tough decisions...)
111

Nene

Listen

(That's why I need to enjoy these moments as much as I can for now...)
