Rui

Listen

Okay, it's complete.
2

Rui

Listen

(Hehe. We'll be able to use this miniature lighting mechanism to do projection mapping wherever we like, which should allow us to employ a wide variety of new effects.)
3

Rui

Listen

(I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone reacts when they see this.)
4

Rui

Listen

(Ah, if only it could be tomorrow now. Then I'd be able to show them immediately.)
5

Rui

Listen

Hehe...
6

Rui

Listen

(I have them to thank for being able to try putting on so many different kinds of shows.)
7

Rui

Listen

If we can keep putting on shows like this for as long as possible...

8

Nene

Listen

Y-Yes, we probably will have to go our separate ways in order to pursue our dreams...
9

Nene

Listen

The thought of that happening is really sad and makes my heart sink...
10

Nene

Listen

But when that happens...
I have a feeling that it'll be the moment when we take a big step towards achieving our goals...
11

Emu

Listen

Nene...
12

Tsukasa

Listen

...
13

Nene

Listen

And until that time comes, I want to cherish the shows that we're able to do together...!
14

Nene

Listen

All of us... Together!
15

Rui

Listen

Until that time comes, eh...?
16

Rui

Listen

She's right though.
We'll have to cross that bridge eventually.
17

Rui

Listen

So, until then, I should keep doing my absolute best.
18

Rui

Listen

Anyway, I should go to bed soon. They'll surely scold me if I show up with bags under my eyes...

Tsukasa

Listen

Hmm...
Soon... No, not yet... But they should be...

20

Emu

Listen

We're done cleaning over here!
21

Nene

Listen

Good job, you two.
22

Emu

Listen

Hm...?
What's Tsukasa doing over there? He seems kinda anxious.
23

Rui

Listen

Yes, he does. He seemed fine just a second ago...
24

Rui

Listen

Ah, it may be because Emu's brothers are supposed to meet with us soon...
25

Nene

Listen

Oh, right.
They usually tell us where we're going to do our ambassadorial performances in the morning on days off.
26

Emu

Listen

Yeah, I can't wait to hear about where we're going next♪
27

Tsukasa

Listen

Hmm... They should be here soon...
But they're later than usual...

Sound Effect: Play

28

Keisuke

Listen

Good morning.
You all seem well, as usual.
29

Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, there you are!

30

Shosuke

Listen

Whoa!
What's going on? There's no need to run...
31

Tsukasa

Listen

I've been eagerly waiting to hear about where we'll be doing our next ambassadorial performance! Our show for Shibuya Festa went beyond splendidly, so I'm looking forward to producing similar results!
32

Shosuke

Listen

Ah, I see...
Well...
33

Emu

Listen

Hm?
Is something wrong, Shosuke?
34

Shosuke

Listen

Um, so...
Shouldn't we tell them already, Keisuke...?
35

Keisuke

Listen

Yes.
It'll make things easier to explain if we start with that.
36

Rui

Listen

What's going on?
37

Keisuke

Listen

The thing is...
38

Keisuke

Listen

Your next ambassadorial performance will be your last.
39

Tsukasa

Listen

...
...
...Wh—
40

Tsukasa

Listen

What?!
41

Tsukasa

Listen

Wh-What do you mean?!
This is so sudden! Why?!

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

42

Emu

Listen

Yeah! Why?!
Everyone loves our shows and they always smile after seeing them! What's going on here?!
43

Rui

Listen

Mind if we ask for more details regarding this?
44

Keisuke

Listen

Yes, of course.
45

Keisuke

Listen

First...
It will be your last, but that is not actually a bad thing.
46

Keisuke

Listen

Remember what our initial objective was... To attract guests from other parts of the country who don't normally get a chance to visit our park.
47

Nene

Listen

Yeah, I do remember you guys mentioning how this park is easy to access for the locals but not for people who live far away...
48

Shosuke

Listen

Precisely.
Our main goal was to attract guests from the more far-flung regions of the country...
49

Shosuke

Listen

However, we ended up accomplishing that goal much quicker than we initially expected. As a result, we've seen a high influx of those guests.
50

Emu

Listen

So, our shows really worked...?!
Woohoo! Awesome!

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

51

Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, which is why we won't be doing any more shows!
52

Tsukasa

Listen

At the same time...
53

Tsukasa

Listen

If they were so effective, why not keep doing them...?
54

Shosuke

Listen

Point taken, but as it so happens, quite a few of our guests visit Phoenix Wonderland to specifically see your shows. More than you might expect.
55

Rui

Listen

I see. Now I'm starting to understand...
56

Rui

Listen

They're visiting the park to see us perform, so not being here because of our ambassadorial duties would only serve to disappoint them...
57

Keisuke

Listen

Yes, exactly.
As such, we need you to stay and perform at the Wonder Stage.
58

Keisuke

Listen

Then, both the park and its guests will benefit.
59

Nene

Listen

Right...
I guess that makes sense if they want to see us that much...
60

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, we should be grateful.
Still...
61

Tsukasa

Listen

We learned so much from doing these performances. In that sense, this is rather unfortunate news...
62

Emu

Listen

Yeah...
You, Nene and Rui smiled so much... And I learned a lot...
63

Emu

Listen

But I'm also happy that so many people from all over the country are coming to visit!
64

Nene

Listen

Hehe. Me too.
65

Rui

Listen

Yes, these ambassadorial performances were definitely worth the effort, since we needed to come up with so many creative solutions for them.
66

Tsukasa

Listen

I agree...!
And we'll do the same for everyone who comes to see us at the Wonder Stage by putting on magnificent shows for them!
67

Tsukasa

Listen

But first, we'll need to cap off our ambassadorial performances with a big finale!
68

Emu

Listen

Yeah!!
Let's do our best to make that happen!!
69

Keisuke

Listen

We actually have a suggestion regarding your final ambassadorial performance.
70

Nene

Listen

A suggestion?
71

Keisuke

Listen

Yes.
This may feel a bit sudden, but...
72

Keisuke

Listen

How would you all like to do a show with the cast of ArcLand...?
73

Emu

Listen

Hm? ArcLand...?
74

Tsukasa

Listen

As in Tokyo ArcLand?!
75

Nene

Listen

What?! The ArcLand...?!
The park that's famous for putting on world-class shows and performances...?!
76

Keisuke

Listen

Yes, the very same. Not unlike Riley Dream Park, they operate parks in ten countries around the world that are based on the countless movies they've produced.
77

Rui

Listen

That's a very attractive offer, but how did this come to be exactly...?
78

Keisuke

Listen

Not too long ago, some people from ArcLand contacted us about our show casts doing a performance together as a sort of cultural exchange meant to help raise each other's skills.
79

Nene

Listen

A cultural exchange?
80

Shosuke

Listen

We wondered why they were asking us this at all initially, and believed that they were trying to undermine us somehow after we finalized our partnership with Riley Dream Park...
81

Keisuke

Listen

However, as it turns out, they genuinely seem to want to use this opportunity to give their cast members a chance to improve their skills.
82

Nene

Listen

Really? Even though they're already this popular...?
83

Tsukasa

Listen

Despite being the best show in town, they're not resting on their laurels. That's very admirable of them...
84

Keisuke

Listen

They even mentioned you specifically and how it'd be an honor to work with the peerless casts of the Wonder Stage and Phoenix Stage since they're all the rage right now.
85

Shosuke

Listen

We're thinking about having Seiryuin and her troupe guide them around the park, with you all doing a show with them. How does that sound...?
86

Rui

Listen

...
87

Rui

Listen

(ArcLand is the theme park that arguably puts on the best shows in the country.)
88

Rui

Listen

(They've even put on shows recently with casts consisting of some of the best young actors around and directors from around the world. They're clearly not afraid to take on new challenges.)
89

Rui

Listen

(We stand to learn a lot from them. This could be an opportunity for us to grow quite a bit as a troupe.)
90

Rui

Listen

(And I'm personally curious...)
91

Rui

Listen

I'd like to go forward with this.
What do you all think?
92

Emu

Listen

I'm for it too!
If lots and lots of people come to see our show, it's gonna be even more wonderhoy than usual!
93

Nene

Listen

I might start feeling nervous if too many people show up... At the same time, I could learn a lot from this experience. So, I'm also for it...
94

Tsukasa

Listen

Excellent!
95

Tsukasa

Listen

I have no complaints!
Let us take this opportunity as those who truly love shows to learn as much as we can from one another!
96

Keisuke

Listen

Ah, wonderful.
Then, we'll let them know right away.
97

Shosuke

Listen

We feel bad about dumping this on you so suddenly, but do your best during your last ambassadorial performance, okay?
98

Emu

Listen

Okay!
99

Nene

Listen

Still, how many people do you think are gonna come? I really don't feel great about performing with a whole load of new people...
100

Tsukasa

Listen

Nonsense! You're going to be a world-famous songstress! You should have more confidence in yourself!
101

Emu

Listen

Yeah, he's right!
You're gonna knock their socks off!
102

Nene

Listen

Just by being confident?
103

Rui

Listen

Speaking of which, where will we be performing exactly?
104

Keisuke

Listen

At the Museum of Emerging Technologies that's about to have its grand opening. Here's a pamphlet for it.
105

Tsukasa

Listen

That means we'll also be advertising the museum itself! We'll need to do our best for this!
106

Emu

Listen

Wow...!
This place looks so cool! And shiny!
107

Keisuke

Listen

This museum seems to focus on the near future and has exhibits that introduce state-of-the-art technologies from around the world. The plaza outside will be your stage.
108

Rui

Listen

The near future...
109

Rui

Listen

Hehe. I'm already getting some interesting ideas.
110

Rui

Listen

In any case, let's all do our best to put on the best show we can together.
