Nene

Hm...?
Is it morning already...?

2

Emu

Mhm... Nene...
You shouldn't eat that gingerbread house... The witch covered it in hot mustard...

3

Nene

Geez, Emu.
What kind of dream are you...?

4

Tsukasa

Sally sells seashells by the seashore!!!

5

Emu

Huh?!

6

Nene

So loud...

Sound Effect: Play

7

Robo-Nene

120 dB.
About the same as the rotor on a helicopter.

8

Rui

That's quite a lot of energy this early in the day.

9

Tsukasa

Hm? Ah, pardon me. Did I wake you all?

10

Tsukasa

We won't make our show now, but Shosuke did say that he'd make amends somehow, right...?

11

Tsukasa

Which is why I thought we should be ready to perform at any given time.

12

Emu

Tsukasa...

13

Rui

In that case, I'd like to join you.

14

Nene

Me too...
You don't get many chances to practice in a place like this.

15

Emu

Alright, let's do a run together!
Starting from... The climax!

16

Nene

Wait, starting with the climax?!

17

Emu

Yeah, because I really love that scene!
Anyway, here we go!

18

Knight A

“Princess!
What are we to do? Their army's already come this close...!”

19

Nene

*Sigh*
Alright, I'll play along...

20

Princess

“So they have... How are our forces doing?”

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

21

Knight B

“Wounded and fatigued.
At this rate, we'll be...”

22

Princess

“Th-This is rather unsettling...
Not only are people getting hurt, but lives may also be lost along with this country's future...”

23

Princess

“But we cannot run forever...”

24

Princess

“We must make a stand...!”

25

Princess

“My warriors! Now is the time to take up arms!”

26

Knight C

“Let's do this...!
One last battle to end it all!”

27

Knight A

“Yes, sir!”

28

Emu

Wow... That was so amazing!
It's like we were in an acting zone just now!

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

29

Rui

Yes, our tempo and delivery came together perfectly. I'm not sure we've ever synced up so well before.

30

Tsukasa

What if it's because of our little adventure?! Did having to find a way to survive make us a more cohesive unit?!

31

Emu

I think so!
Especially since we did so much stuff together!

32

Emu

And Nene's acting!
That might've been the best she's ever done during one of our practices!

33

Rui

Yes, especially the last part.
You could sense the terror her character was feeling as she delivered that line.

34

Nene

Now that you mention it, I did have an easier time getting into character. Why do you think that is...?

35

Rui

I have to think it's because of our survival adventure.

36

Nene

Huh...?

37

Nene

Our survival adventure...?

38

Nene

(I-Isn't there any other way...?!)

39

Nene

(They sorta have a point. The tension in the air before the curtains go up, being scared of forgetting my lines or worrying about staying in pitch during a song...)

40

Nene

(Compared to all that, this is...!)

41

MEIKO

<It won't be easy, but doing your best by working together as a team to get through this will do wonders for you in the future.>

42

Nene

Now I understand...
This is what MEIKO meant by what she said.

43

Rui

Oh, about our experience paying dividends in the future? Yes, everything she said was correct.

44

Tsukasa

We'll need to thank her for encouraging us like that!

45

Emu

But we can't right now because your phone's battery ran out... I feel like we should take back something as a souvenir...

46

Emu

Oh, what about the bananas pickled in seawater that Rui talked about yesterday?

47

Nene

Yeah, you can't really have that anywhere else... But that seems more like a punishment than a gift...

48

Rui

Although, it could be tastier than we expect.

49

Tsukasa

And we ate almost all the food we gathered yesterday...

50

Robo-Nene

50 dB...
About the same as a home air conditioner.

51

Emu

Huh?
Isn't that pretty low for Tsukasa's voice?

52

Tsukasa

Don't make it sound like I'm shouting at the top of my lungs 24/7!

53

Rui

No, I don't think she was picking up Tsukasa's voice...

Sound Effect: Play

54

Emu

Wah?! Wh-What's that noise?!

Sound Effect: Play

55

Robo-Nene

120 dB.
About the same as the rotor on a helicopter.

56

Nene

The same as the rotor on a...?

57

Rui

It's the sound of a real helicopter.

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

58

Emu

What?!

59

Shosuke

Ah, it's here.
Sooner than expected too.

60

Emu

Huh?! Shosuke?!
Where were you all this time?!

61

Shosuke

I managed to fix the radio around dawn, managed to send out an SOS signal and have been waving around a flag along the coast so that someone might see us.

62

Shosuke

We can finally leave this place.

63

Tsukasa

Excellent!

64

Nene

Thank goodness...

65

Emu

But we all enjoyed our little desert island adventure, right? It might be nice to do this again someday!

66

Shosuke

We don't have time for that right now. You and your troupe have a show to do.

67

Rui

What?
Does that mean...?

68

Shosuke

Not today, but I managed to rework your schedule.

69

Shosuke

You'll be performing tomorrow due to another party canceling due to the same storm we encountered.

70

Shosuke

They were kind enough to let us take that slot.

71

Emu

Tomorrow...?

72

Emu

What do you mean? Tomorrow?
So... Today?! What time?!

73

Tsukasa

Calm down!
Tomorrow as in tomorrow! The next day! Not today!

74

Nene

I sort of expected it to get postponed, but I didn't think we'd be performing so soon...

75

Shosuke

Right.
You haven't had much sleep and are still probably very tired, so you're hardly in the best condition to perform.

76

Shosuke

With that in mind, can you still do this...?

77

Nene

Yes.

78

Nene

Because we're Wonderlands×Showtime.
Anything is possible when it comes to us.

79

Emu

Right, let's practice while we're on the helicopter!

80

Tsukasa

Agreed!
Let's shift gears and get ready to make everyone smile!

81

Emu

Oh, also!
Let's do our usual cheer!
The one that helps us put smiles on everyone's faces!

82

Tsukasa

W-Wait, here?!

83

Rui

Like we did before we went on the cruiser.

84

Nene

Yeah, if it'll help us get prepared mentally...

85

Emu

Hehe. Alright, here we go!
Our show's gonna make everyone smile from ear to ear! Ready...?

86

Everyone

Wonderhoy!
