Please bring that large prop over here. Yes, next to this pole will do just fine.

Hey, Rui!
Is this spot about where we should be entering?

Mind showing me?
Maybe ten centimeters closer towards stage left...

Got it!

By the way, Tsukasa, did you sleep well last night...?

Yes! I stayed up to practice as much as I could, but managed to get in just enough sleep!

All that's left is to do my best during the show.

Right.
I'll be looking forward to seeing a great performance from you.

How are you doing, Asahi...?

Oh, the mats are all set!
They should be able to stay in place regardless of what's thrown at them!

Hey, what are they doing over there?

Oh, let's see what the poster says.
PXL and ArcLand are doing a show together...?!

Whoa, really?!
And Asahi Genbu's gonna be in it! Wanna check it out?

Wait, Asahi's gonna be in it?
Yeah, definitely!

...

Rui still seems kinda unhappy...

Yeah, but he seems a little better compared to yesterday...

Hm? Nene, Emu, what's wrong?
Are you feeling nervous?

*Gasp*

Urgh!
N-No, we feel fine! Better than fine!

Really? Then, I guess there's nothing to worry about... Please let us know if something is wrong. We'll do our best to help.

O-Okay.
We really appreciate it.

(He said he was fine when we made our way over here this morning...)

(But maybe the four of us should set aside some time after the show to talk...)

Alright, it's nearly showtime.

We'll be doing three performances over two days for this. I know this still feels a bit strange since it's the first show we're doing together.

However, I strongly believe we'll be able to really deliver.

So, let's all do our best.

Yeah!

Alright...

Let's give them the best show they've ever seen.

“The laboratory is ours!
However, we don't appear to be alone...”

Wait, they're on top of the lamps! When did they get up there?!

Cool!

(Excellent. The audience is captivated, just as we planned.)

(The next moment's also one of the most important parts of the show since it's going to give them a nice jolt of excitement.)

(That aspect of the show is second nature to our guests, while...)

“Major! There's only one android!
Our intel said that there'd be two...”

“It must've been taken by those rats...! We'll pursue after them! Sergeant Willis, you are to secure the android that you've already found!”

“Copy!”

“What happened? Where is the Professor? Please, explain to me what is going on...”

“Explain...?
Well...”

“You belong to us now.
So, you'll be taking orders from us.”

“But only the Professor can change who has administrator privileges over my systems. Where is he? Is he safe?”

“He isn't here anymore...
Sorry, but we'll just have to change those by brute force.”

“Hmm... Apologizing to an android feels a bit strange.”

(Tsukasa and Nene have improved their acting quite a bit. They certainly seem to have absorbed as much as they could from ArcLand's cast members.)

I couldn't be more blessed to have them...

“Wh-Where am I?
I require positioning data for this area.”

“Here? It's the farm my grandpa started out here on the frontier, Mr. Robot! We found you collapsed on the ground!”

“I am not a robot. I am an android.
My name is Alfred Hawking.”

“Have you downloaded the map for where the next battle is going to take place?”

“Yes. I have also found the evacuation routes that the civilians will likely be using.”

“Were you ordered to do that...?”

“Yes. I was told that it would be absolutely necessary for this battle. Do you have any issues with that...?”

“Not really...”

“Al, help!
What do I do?! One of the calves ran away!”

“What?! No!
We must go after it at once!”

“Thanks, Al!
Wait, watch out for the manure pit...”

“Wah!”

(The two androids who ended up being raised in two completely different environments...)

(However, as the front lines near the peaceful farmland, Alfred is forced to take up arms for the very first time in order to protect its residents.)

(And our two androids are reunited on the battlefield...)

(Now, here comes the show's climax.)

(Break a leg, everyone...)

“...”

“Why...?”

“My systems have been augmented specifically for the battlefield. How are you able to stand your ground against me?”

“I... I do not know...
But I...”

“I want to protect these people.
That may be the reason why I am able to summon more strength than I normally can.”

“I do not understand.”

“Please, just try!!”

“No, I will not.
I cannot fathom your motives.”

“I do not wish to kill you, Bartlett!!”

“The only thing that separates us is the environments in which we were raised!”

“We would not be doing this right now if you were not taught to kill!”

“But that is what I was taught. That is reality. So, I must defeat you.”

“Bartlett!”

(Towards the end of the battle, Alfred somehow manages to damage Bartlett's power core...)

“Ba-Ba-Bartlett...!!”

“Why are you crying...?
You are the victor.”

“How can you call this victory?!
There are no winners here...!!”

“I still do not understand...”

“However...
It may have been nice to see...”

“What?”

“To see where you grew up...
I wonder how I would have...”

“Bartlett!!”

“Al! They just said on the news how our country beat that other country! That means you don't have to fight anymore...”

“Oh no...!”

“Bartlett!!
No... Why did it have to be like this...?”

“Why did I have to be the one to kill you...?”

“No, he's still alive...!
There should be a backup battery within his power core! As long that you didn't damage that...”

“I-It looks like it's gonna short...!
Do you have any tools I can borrow?!”

“Yeah, we have some in the barn!
I'll go get them now!”

“I have no idea who you are, but please save him...! Please... I beg you...!!”

“Hang on...
Are you the other android? Did you and Bartlett come from the same laboratory?”

“Y-Yes, that is correct...
I was found on this farm and have been working here for ten years now.”

“I see...”

“If Bart hadn't ended up with us, he might've been given a chance to lead a better life... Like you...”

“What...?”

“I found the tools!
I really hope they help.”

“I'll try my best...!
But this is my first time doing this, so I can't guarantee anything...”

“There...!
We should be able to reboot him now...!”

“But I need to ask you something before I do...”

“If we allow him to reboot normally, he'll probably go straight back to being a weapon of war.”

“However, if we perform a full reset, we'd be able to erase all of his memories and give him another chance.”

“What...?!”

“I want to erase all the horrible things we taught him. But as the one who was created alongside him, I need to know how you'd feel about that...”

“I...”

“No, please do not reset him...”

“Turning him into a blank slate may be easier... But only he knows the value of everything that he experienced these past ten years.”

“So, please leave his memories intact.”

“Instead, would you mind installing this for me...?”

“Are these memories...?”

“They are mine. From these past ten years.”

“I want Bartlett to see them.
I want him to see how beautiful this world is, and why I am able to feel.”

“Okay...
I'll install this before rebooting him.”

(This is your moment, Tsukasa...)

(Hold back as much as you can, and let just a little bit eke out...)

(Show us the never-before-seen moment where an android develops real, human emotions!)

“Where am I...?
I am seeing readings that my power core was destroyed...”

“Bartlett...!”

“Alfred...
Did you wake me...?”

“Yes, he did.”

“I see...”

“Alfred...
It appears that there is a mission that I must accomplish right now.”

“What?”

“Will you show me what I saw in these memories?”

“This beauty you saw over these past ten years?”

“Then... I may begin to understand who you are...”

...!

“Yes...
Yes, of course.”

“And... We can keep creating new memories together... Bart...”

“I would like that very much... Al...”

(Ah...)

(I really do love these moments...)

(When everybody takes my direction on board and their hard work blooms into a wonderful spectacle. Also...)

(When I get to see that my direction has moved everyone's dreams along and made them smile...)

(I can't get enough of those moments...)

Thank you all very much for coming to see us!!

Thank you very much!!

Wow, we did it...!
We managed to make it through both days without incident!

Yeah!
And the audience looked super happy!!

They really did.
Also, in comparison to our first performance, I think around double the people came to watch us.

If anything, Tsukasa, we have you to thank for showing such tremendous growth!

The final scene was as incredible as it was because you put so much effort into it.

And it was so cool to watch! I guess that's Miles for you!

...!
Thank you very much!

However, it's sad to think how this may be the last conversation we have together.

(The last one...?)

I agree...
But this month was so much fun. So, thank you all very much.

Thank you as well!
It was nice working with you!

Anyway, let's start cleaning everything up.

Asahi...

After we finish cleaning up, can we talk?

...!
Yes, of course.

Okay, until then...

Rui...?

I apologize in advance for doing this right after our show. I'm sure you're very tired, Asahi...

No, I'm okay.
I have triple the stamina of a normal person!

Anyway...

Have you reached a decision?

Yes...
