I've been coming to this park since I was a little girl...
Huh?
This was where I learned for the first time that places as fun and wonderful as this existed.
All the singing and dancing felt like it came straight out of a movie. It was so beautiful to see, and I wanted to be a part of that...
The Rainbow Stage was a particular favorite of mine. So much so that I was talking to members of its troupe on a regular basis.
The Rainbow Stage...?
It's an old stage that used to be in this park. I really, really loved it too...
But it was one of the first things to go...
Oh...
How this park is run began to gradually change so that it would appeal more to young people, and it's been bothering me for so long...
But I was in no position to say anything since the Phoenix Stage was benefiting from those changes.
...
Then I realized something. I looked out into the audience one day and noticed that there were almost no children or elderly guests.
It suddenly felt like that little girl from my memories would no longer be welcome here.
Seiryuin...
As a business, this park may very well be headed in the right direction. Phoenix Wonderland should be able to stay open if more young people come and visit.
But this used to be a place for everyone. At the very least, I loved what this park used to be.
Which is why...
I want to see that Phoenix Wonderland again. I want this park to be “a place that makes everyone smile.”
That means...!!
You'll help us?!
I will.
However, what the other members of my troupe wish to do is entirely up to them.
So, what do you think?
...
To be honest, it was sad seeing all of our usual guests not show up little by little...
Yeah. I thought that was just how things were gonna be from now on, but maybe we still have time to turn that around...
If you're in, Sakurako, then I'll help too!
Th-This is super duper wonderhoy!!
Thank you so much, Sakurako♪
Uh, yes... Of course...
We're on a first name basis now...?
Great! Now that we have you, we can start gathering more cast members!!
Yes... But let's go talk to the troupes that already once turned you down...
Wait, why...?
I'm generally aware of what's going on with the other troupes. The members of my troupe often exchange information amongst themselves.
By changing your angle, you may actually be able to convince them into joining you.
And once they hear that the Phoenix Stage has joined our side, I'm sure they'll be more willing to hear us out.
Right...!
That's great!
Thank you for agreeing to help us, Seiryuin. Let's make this happen...!!
Of course, Tenma.
Let's make this show one for the ages.
Sorry to bother you again!
Please, would you mind giving us just one more chance?!
You again...?
Sorry but we're not...
Hello. Do you have some time to talk?
What? Seiryuin...?
If I recall correctly, you were the one that fought the hardest against the removal of the Rainbow Stage...
I wasn't able to do anything back then either, but now's a different story...
This plan promises to bring what is truly best for this park. Please, help us...
We beg you! As cast members of Phoenix Wonderland, please hear us out!
Fine. Just for a little while, okay...?
I don't believe it...! This is how many people are involved with all the stages and their troupes...?!
Thanks, Seiryuin...
None of this would've been possible if you weren't here with us.
Hehe. You're welcome.
Next is your turn, Tsukasa?
What?
As the troupe leader of the Wonder Stage, I believe you know what you have to do now?
Ah, yes, of course...!
Huh? What's happening?
What are you gonna do, Tsukasa?
Just sit back and watch!
You are about to see what your future star, Tsukasa Tenma, is really made of!
...?
