Nene's running late.
I wonder where she is...

For now let's just get everything ready. We can't start without her anyway...

That's right. Her singing is central to this show.

But we can't force this on her. She needs to find her own way.

Well, if she decides to quit, I'll do both roles and be a double lead!

It's not beyond a star like myself to pull that off... Hm?

<Hello!!>

Yikes! Y-You could give us some kind of warning, you know!

Hi, Miku♪ You came to see us again!

<I couldn't get Nene out of my mind, so I dropped by to check in on her... Whoa!>

<Hi, everyone! How are things going with your show?>

Wah! Another one?!

<It's nice to meet you all! I'm MEIKO, the new arrival in SEKAI. We're doing a Christmas show and were hoping you'd all come and see it!>

Oh! You're the new member Miku was talking about...!

<Yup, that's her! Although, I wasn't expecting her to follow me here...!>

<Miku told me one of your friends isn't doing well, and I couldn't just sit and wait. I thought our show might help cheer her up.>

<Let's get you all in a jolly mood with our Christmas show♪>

<So, where is she?>

Morning... Sorry I'm so late.

There she is!

Nene, do you know what time it is?
Nevermind. How are you feeling today...?

...

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry for making you worry. I'm fine now. I've been practicing since morning and am ready for anything.

And now, I can sing like I used to... From my heart.

I knew you had it in you, Nene!

Hah. I expected no less of our heroine.

Hehe.

<It looks like you didn't need any encouragement from us after all!>

Oh? You must be... MEIKO?

<That's right! But enough about me... I just came by to make sure you were okay, so I'm happy to see you're back in high spirits!>

<Me too! It's a weight off my mind to see you've overcome your slump.>

Thank you both. And Miku... I'm sorry for being so rude by turning down your invitation the other day.

If it still stands, I'd love to come and...
Maybe even be in your show too?

<What?>

I'd like to sing for all of you.

<Of course you can! Everybody's welcome! All of you can join us on stage!>

Len, could you hang this decoration up there for me? That should be the last one, and be careful not to fall...

Okay! Aaand there, done!
Whoa... Y-Yikes...!

Len, watch out!

Oww... Huh? Wait, I'm not hurt?

You should be more careful, Len.
Lucky I caught you.

Thanks, MEIKO! I owe you one!

You're welcome!

We've finally finished putting up the decorations.

Hehe. Putting that huge Christmas tree in the middle of the stage was the right call. It's really eye-catching!

Haha, I have a feeling that things are only going to get livelier with you here!

Then how's about we do our show right now? Look who I brought with me!

Great! You all came this time!

And I see that your show is ready to go as well.

Yeah!
We can start whenever!

I um... About that...
I have a favor to ask...

Nene wants to sing with us. Would that be okay with everyone?

Oh?

I-I can finally sing from my heart again, and I was hoping you'd give it a listen...

So, p-please...! Let me sing with you!

Of course, we'd like that very much!

Th-Thank you...

We could sing the opening song together. We'll need four people for this, so Nene, KAITO, myself and one more...

Rui, would you like to sing with us?

Huh?

I'd like that too. We can sing just like we did in the old days.

Hehe. If that is your wish, how can I say no?

Great! Are you ready to begin?

Yes...!!

(I love theater.)

(So I won't worry about making mistakes or beating our rivals at the contest anymore...)

(I just need to sing my heart out!)

♪♪♪

Wooow!!
That was amazing...!

Hahaha! That's the heroine of Wonderlands×Showtime for you!

Hehe. It's been a long time since I heard Nene sing like that.

Hehehe...

Looks like you didn't need our help at all this time♪

Miku, I want to sing too!

Of course! Everyone will get to sing! Let's raise the curtain for our dazzling Christmas show!
