There's so many people here!

And it's not just the stage troupes either. Aren't some regular staff members here too...?

It was in the script, right?

This show needs everyone, including the park staff.

Hm?

Oh, right. They're supposed to...

Comrades...!

Thank you for gathering here at the Wonder Stage today. You have our solemn gratitude!

Hm? Is he from the Wonder Stage?

Yeah, I think so.

His name's...

Allow me to introduce myself! My name is...!

Tenma, written as “soaring pegasus”! Tsukasa, meaning to govern! I am Tsukasa Tenma, the soaring pegasus born to rule the showbiz world!

Huh...?

A-Are you sure about this?!

They all look completely dumbfounded...!

We'll just have to wait and see.

That's just Tsukasa for you!

I'm sure that all of you are already aware of this fact, but to reiterate, the fate of Phoenix Wonderland currently hangs in the balance!

One path involves attracting younger guests to improve this park's attendance figures so that this park will survive as a business!

The other path, our plan, involves making this park a welcoming place for guests of all ages and one that can make everyone who visits smile!

I understand that a proper business plan is still necessary for this park to stay afloat. However, shows are also elixirs for making people grin from ear to ear...!

Age and gender do not matter. It doesn't matter if you're an alien from outer space who speaks an incomprehensible language!

At the very least, I want my show to make everybody smile!!

And this park is a place that made so many people smile. It's a place that's full of precious memories.

“A place that can make everyone smile.” That is why so many people used to visit! That is what everybody loved about Phoenix Wonderland!

That is why I'm doing this show!

To prove that this park is still just that!

We don't have to choose between this park being loved and this park attracting as many guests as it can!

If we can put on a show that makes absolutely everyone smile, then more people will surely come and visit!

As long as we don't forget that...

Phoenix Wonderland will never die. It will always be able to rise from the ashes!!

Making everyone smile...

Since we're doing a show, we should at least strive to do that.

We'll do whatever we can if it means more people come to our rides...

Oh...

(I guess everybody was already on the same page...)

(I knew it! I was right...!)

(I was right, grandpa! That zingy-zing feeling I got when I saw him during those interviews sent me in the right direction!)

You all work day in and day out to make every guest that visits smile. Surely, we'll be able to put on an incredible performance if we all work together!

But we're gonna have to give it absolutely everything we have until the curtains go up!

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen anyone not smiling after seeing a Wonder Stage show.

Hehe.

And we're the veterans here. We can't let a kid like him hog all the fun.

Yeah! Let's make this the best show ever!

...

(All of those who've gathered here today are at the very least of the same mind as me.)

(I'm sure that some people were still unsure about what we'd be doing when they first came here...)

(But I'm only seeing smiles after hearing that speech...)

(Who would've ever thought that pompous oaf had something like that in him.)

Hehe...

Nicely done.

The chief director for this operation will be the Wonder Stage's own Rui Kamishiro! The singing and dancing will be led by Sakurako Seiryuin of the Phoenix Stage!

Regarding anything else, feel free to ask me!

Now, let's get this show on the road!!

What?! I have to go all the way over there right after this part?!

Yes. It's actually doable if you go through the changing rooms here. I've even done so myself.

About the effect for this part...

What did you have in mind exactly?

We'll be using the drone I made for that. I've been making them for a long time now, so we have quite a few at our disposal.

What? You can make drones, Kamishiro?

Hehe. I needed them for our shows.

Oh, also, what if we did this...?

Cut!

This scene is all about making dramatic revelations! Your singing needs to pack a much bigger punch than that!

I don't care that you're the chorus for Kusanagi. You all need to sing like you're the heroes of this show!

I'll be taking a look at the other teams now, Kusanagi. Make sure they get this part down!

Uh, yeah... Okay...

(But... I don't know any of these people... How am I supposed to tell them what to do...?)

(I feel more jittery doing this than when I'm on stage... No...)

(I have to do this... I have to do everything I can right now!!)

*Sob*... I only heard rumors about her, but Seiryuin's so hard on everyone...

Would you mind going through that last part again, Kusanagi?

O-Okay...

C-Can you start from the top?

♪～～～～

(Oh, now I get it...!

I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's not quite sending the right message...)

(I... I can do this...

I helped Hoshino with her singing so...!)

Um... I have a feeling that you're not singing as well as you usually can... Maybe...

If you sing more normally, it might actually sound better... I guess...?

Our normal voices...?

Okay, we can try that.

O-Okay. Then let's try that again...

They should be just fine in her hands...

Beep. Of course.

Nene is a songstress after all.

Eep!

Do your best, Nene...

I'll be cheering for you...

T-This robot... It was in one of their shows... I didn't know it could talk like this...!

Excuse me! Can you tell me a little more about this part of the routine?

Yeah! For this part you go right, left, twirly-whirl and bam! Like that!

Who can possibly understand what you just said?!

Right, left, twirly-whirl and... Oh, I did it!

How?!

Sorry! I need some help with where I need to be for this part!

Ah, I'll be right there!

Heh heh heh♪

Dancing with this many people is so much fun!

You're right! It feels like we've accomplished something already!

I'm sorry! Do I go left and turn there?!

I need some help with some props...!

Hold on! Just hold on!

One at a time...!

Having to coordinate this many people is starting to take its toll...!

But I'm destined to be a star! I'll be dealing with significantly more people than this in the future!

Alright, who's next?! Step right up!

Okay! Next, we need to check on all the rides and attractions that we'll be using for the finale!

By the way, Emu...

Is “that thing” gonna be ready in time?

Yup! Mr. Mascot and the others said that they had some extras in stock, so I got a bunch of them!

Rui and Robo-Nene went all zappy-zap-zap, and modded them for us!

Great, I can't wait to see them!

We'll actually be able to see a spell be cast over all of Phoenix Wonderland!

But how did you come up with this idea in the first place, Emu?

Hehe♪ It's awesome, right?!

Actually, it sort of has to do with how I don't like it when the sun sets...

Hm? Why's that?

Because it always feels like a super fun day is about to end. That's why I thought it would be awesome to have things be just as sparkly and fun at night!

And that's just one of my ideas!

And I would expect no less from you, Emu...

Don't worry! I promise to make the night after our show ends as sparkly, fun and full of laughter as it can possibly be!

Yeah!

Um, Tsukasa...

Yes?

Thank you... Thank you so much for doing this!

Hah! There's no need to thank me!

I'm a future star! This is the least I can do for you!

Now, let's go!

We still have a mountain of work left to do!

Yeah!

(For the longest time, I was so scared...)

(I wasn't sure if it was okay for me to try and keep the promise I made with grandpa. To make Phoenix Wonderland a place where everyone can smile.)

(But everyone helped me realize that all these people feel the same way.)

(That's why...)

We have to absolutely, one-million-percent make this a great, big success!!

Emu, calm down!

Quit yelling and go help the other teams!

Yes, sir!!
