Emu

Listen

Thank you for coming to see the show!
2

Tsukasa

Listen

We hope to see you again soon!

Guest

Oh, the cast members are thanking us. It must be because this is the anniversary show. I still can't believe how good it was!
4

Guest

I know, right?!
The scene at the end with Rio and the phoenix totally blew me away. I felt so much empathy for them...

Rui

Listen

The audience seems to have enjoyed our show very much...
6

Nene

Listen

Yeah, and everyone did a really good job.
I think we put on a great performance.
7

Nene

Listen

I was also able to give it everything I had.
8

Emu

Listen

Your singing was sooo amazing, Nene!
My heart went all bang-zoom-kapow and I...!
9

???

Listen

Yes.
You've improved quite a lot it seems.
10

Nene

Listen

Huh...?

11

Sakurako

Listen

Nicely done.
It was a wonderful performance.
12

Nene

Listen

Seiryuin...
13

Sakurako

Listen

Compared to before, your singing and acting were like night and day.

14

Sakurako

Listen

I never thought that you could improve so quickly in such a short period.
15

Nene

Listen

This was only possible because you went out of your way to contact Ms. Kazamatsuri for me. Otherwise, well...
16

Sakurako

Listen

Yes, asking her to help you seems to have been well worth it.
17

Nene

Listen

I really genuinely thought that we put on an amazing show, and it was nice to be able to see what I was missing. As a result, I was able to give it absolutely everything I had today.
18

Nene

Listen

Obviously, Seiryuin, I'm still nowhere near your level... But I'm really glad that I was given this chance.
19

Nene

Listen

So, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to grow.
20

Rui

Listen

Nene...
21

Sakurako

Listen

Yes, well...
Let's just say that you owe me one now.
22

Sakurako

Listen

However...
23

Sakurako

Listen

I disagree with your statement regarding you not being at my level.
24

Nene

Listen

What...?
25

Sakurako

Listen

Naturally, this show revolved around Rio and myself. After all, we are the main characters.
26

Sakurako

Listen

However...
Your singing and acting gave us a massive boost.

27

Nene

Listen

My singing and acting...?
28

Sakurako

Listen

Yes.
The scene where Rio hesitates to plunge his dagger into the phoenix...
29

Sakurako

Listen

We were clearly one with the audience.
30

Emu

Listen

One with the audience...
31

Rui

Listen

Yes, that scene was so immersive that those watching became a part of it. Almost as though we and the audience were in lockstep with the protagonists.
32

Rui

Listen

And what allowed that to happen was the Cowardly Canary's song.
33

Nene

Listen

My song...?
34

Sakurako

Listen

Your song was so moving that it brought the entire venue together as one.
35

Sakurako

Listen

As such, I disagree with your earlier statement.
36

Sakurako

Listen

Goodness, what am I saying?
Let's just say you owe me for this too.
37

Nene

Listen

Seiryuin...
38

Sakurako

Listen

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that you need to stop undermining yourself so much. That'll only cut off your potential. Once you understand that...
39

Sakurako

Listen

I dare you to rise.
To my level.
40

Nene

Listen

Oh...
41

Sakurako

Listen

Now, Wonderlands×Showtime, if you'll excuse me...

42

Tsukasa

Listen

Did you hear that, Nene?!
Sakurako Seiryuin just gave you a glowing review!
43

Emu

Listen

She said that your song made our show what it is!
I'm so happy for you!
44

Nene

Listen

Thanks...
45

Nene

Listen

I really couldn't have done this without her.

Yuka

Did Sakurako already leave?
I didn't get a chance to congratulate her!

Nene

Listen

Ms. Kazamatsuri...?!
48

Tsukasa

Listen

*Gasp*
You being here means...
49

Tsukasa

Listen

I-I-I-I-I-Is Mr. Amami also present here with you right now at this very moment?!?!
50

Yuka

Listen

Hehe. As energetic as ever, I see.
51

Nene

Listen

I'm sorry he's so obnoxious...
52

Yuka

Listen

I hardly consider that a bad thing.
I mean, he projects his voice so well.
53

Yuka

Listen

But I do need to apologize.
Seiichi just ran off saying that he had to use his quick pass for something called...the “fish coaster”?
54

Tsukasa

Listen

Oh—
55

Tsukasa

Listen

I see...
That's unfortunate...
56

Emu

Listen

Mr. Amami's going on the fish coaster...?!
57

Rui

Listen

A world-famous star riding the fish coaster... That's quite an image.
58

Yuka

Listen

Anyway, enough about Seiichi...
59

Yuka

Listen

Nene, congratulations on your performance. I'm so glad all that training paid off!
60

Nene

Listen

Thank you very much.
You taught me so much, Ms. Kazamatsuri...
61

Nene

Listen

And I was able to do my best as a result. It really felt like I grew and made some progress...
62

Yuka

Listen

Hehe. That's great to hear!
But...
63

Yuka

Listen

You can't be satisfied with just this.

64

Nene

Listen

...!
65

Yuka

Listen

All I did was teach you a few things, Nene. We weren't able to take a deeper dive because we were so short on time.
66

Yuka

Listen

Yes, I taught you things that took me a very long time to learn. But that's just the tip of the iceberg...
67

Yuka

Listen

What you need to do moving forward is meet even more new people, learn as much as you can and use what you experience to grow even further.
68

Nene

Listen

To grow even further...
69

Yuka

Listen

That's right. So, you can't stop here.
Like I said before, Nene, you have nowhere to go but up.
70

Yuka

Listen

I'll be looking forward to seeing just how much you've grown the next time we meet!
71

Nene

Listen

Ms. Kazamatsuri...
72

Nene

Listen

Thank you...
By the time we meet next...
I promise to have grown even more.
73

Nene

Listen

So, thank you very much...
I really appreciate what you did for me this time around!

Nene

Listen

*Sigh*
This area's all cleaned up now.
75

Nene

Listen

Tsukasa, how's your side going?
76

Tsukasa

Listen

Swimmingly!
We should be done once I carry this ladder over!
77

Nene

Listen

Okay.
Then, lemme help since it looks pretty heavy.
78

Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, excellent. Much appreciated!
79

Nene

Listen

I know I say this every time, but it's always sad to see all the props and stuff get put away. It feels like this show's really over, you know...?
80

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, you're right.
It's sad to see this show in particular end since it was a joint production.
81

Tsukasa

Listen

We may work together again someday, but it likely won't exactly be with the same group of people...
82

Nene

Listen

Yeah, but...
83

Nene

Listen

This show made me want to try performing with other people in different places.

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

84

Nene

Listen

Especially since Ms. Kazamatsuri said that I should and how I stand to grow from those experiences. I really wanna make that happen...
85

Nene

Listen

Without this show, I never would've realized just how much work I still needed or figured out what my habits were. And above all else, I wouldn't have gotten a chance to learn from Ms. Kazamatsuri.
86

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, I have to agree with you there...
87

Nene

Listen

Yeah, so...
I see now just how much time I've been wasting.
88

Nene

Listen

In hindsight, I let way too many opportunities to learn and grow go...
89

Nene

Listen

Which is why I wanna start doing more like you, Tsukasa. I'm gonna start attending workshops, appearing in shows with other troupes and...
90

Nene

Listen

See more of the world we're in.
91

Tsukasa

Listen

Nene...
92

Nene

Listen

I'm gonna keep experiencing new things, keep growing...
93

Nene

Listen

And make my dream of becoming a world-class musical actress come true.
94

Tsukasa

Listen

I see...
95

Tsukasa

Listen

I know exactly how you feel.
I too wish to stand on top of this world of ours!
96

Tsukasa

Listen

So, let us both do our best as we keep aiming for the top!
97

Nene

Listen

Yeah, let's do it!
98

Emu

Listen

Nene and Tsukasa sound so optimistic about the future...
99

Rui

Listen

This show must've given them both a nice push.
100

Rui

Listen

I've known Nene for quite a while now, but I'd never seen her shine on stage like that before...
101

Emu

Listen

Me neither. Nene's singing and Tsukasa's acting were both so amazing...
102

Emu

Listen

They sparkled so much...
103

Rui

Listen

Emu...
104

Rui

Listen

When the time comes for them to say that they wish to leave the Wonder Stage, will you try to follow in their footsteps?
105

Emu

Listen

Nope.
106

Emu

Listen

Because my dream is to protect Grandpa's amusement park and keep it the way it is.
107

Emu

Listen

And make a place where everyone smiles!

Rui

(Emu has been saying that ever since we all met her, and has been unbending when it comes to this matter...)

Rui

Listen

(Which is why we've been able to support her in her endeavors.)

Rui

Listen

(But...)
112

Rui

Listen

(Emu's dream...
All our dreams... The only person who thinks we can make them come true together is...)
113

Emu

Listen

We should hurry and get this all cleaned up before Nene and the others all go home without us!
114

Rui

Listen

Yes, let's...
115

Rui

Listen

(My ego wishes for that...)
116

Rui

Listen

(But is it right for me to do so...?)
117

Rui

Listen

(I should discuss this with “them”.)
