“I haven't been able to move my legs since the war ended. I wish I could run and feel the wind in my hair again...”
“Ah, you wish to run? Why don't I do you one better and make it so you can soar through the sky like a dragon! Here...!”
“W-What is this thing...?!”
It's a roller coaster!
It looks just like a dragon!
“The war made it so my sister can't laugh or be surprised anymore. It's like she can't feel anything at all...!”
“Yes, I see. This may be a little intimidating at first, but how about something like this? Here...!”
Hey, look!
The haunted house is lit up to look really scary!
How have you not gained access to the control room yet?!
I'm sorry!
I've been entering in the correct password, but I think someone's changed it...!
What?! Have we been hacked...?!
Emu...
I hope you know what's coming...
“Excuse me!
I received word that some kind of sorcerer has taken up residence here! Is that actually true?!”
“Uh oh, it's the Ms. Windbag...”
“Ms. Windbag?”
“She won't stop yelling and complaining, so she's called Ms. Windbag.”
“She used to be such a kind and cheerful girl too. But the war turned her into a completely different person.”
“Silence!
You have no idea what I've been through!”
“My home was destroyed, and we were forced to live on borrowed goods and handouts! My mother's even become bedridden because of this meager lifestyle!”
“If only we could go back to those days when we could take warm baths and have gourmet meals every day...”
“Don't you think that's asking a little too much?”
“Hahaha! I don't think so! Happiness comes in all shapes and sizes!”
“Let's see. A simple mansion likely won't do, so why don't we just go for a giant castle?! There...!”
The Neo Phoenix Castle's all lit up...!
Oh, this is just magnificent!
Whoa! Hey, look! It's sparkling!
“And let's try this too...!”
Fireworks...
How are they able to launch so many at once...?
Wait... They're drones! Countless drones are flying around the castle and launching fireworks at the same time!
“Wonderful! This is just the kind of castle I was hoping for...!”
“My mother will surely start feeling better once she sees this! Thank you so much!”
“But you're quite a famous sorcerer, are you not? Why are you making all these things in a place like this?”
“Ah, the answer is simple... It's because it's fun! Right, Shao?”
“What?!
Isn't this supposed to be a part of my training?!”
“Hahaha! Yes, there is that too!”
“Just take it one step at a time and you'll be just fine! You should come and see us again sometime, miss!”
“You'll always be welcome here!”
“Yes, I shall!
I'll even bring my mother next time!”
“A long time had then passed since master and I first came to this field...”
“People from all over began gathering here as he made more and more stuff.”
“And as the years went by, I grew up to become an adult while master became a little old grandpa.”
...
“Master, do you need more water?”
“No, that's alright...
I have plenty already.”
“Master, I'm so worried...”
“What's going to happen to this place once you're gone...?”
“Because you're still using your magic, master, those spinning horses and flying rides are all still in working order.”
“But there's just no way that I could keep all of them running like that for this long.”
“So please... Don't leave me, master...”
“...”
“Shao, you have such a beautiful smile...”
“Huh?”
“When you first came to me and asked to become my apprentice, I was astonished at how a child like you could have such a sour expression on their face...”
“But you have such a beautiful smile now. One that can cheer up all those around you. You really are my best pupil.”
“Master...”
“Listen, Shao...
Smiles and laughter have a curious quality to them.”
“When one person begins to laugh, everybody around them becomes infected with their joy. It makes it so that people can feel hope and optimism.”
“Almost as if it were magic.”
“...”
“Shao, I'm sure you already understand.”
“Magic is not what creates joy.
Joy is what creates magic.”
“That is why you, Shao, were able to become such a wonderful sorcerer. It's because you were immersed in smiles, laughter and joy for so long.”
“No, not just you. Everyone here. They're all sorcerers in their own right...”
What...?!
Did all the lights in the park just go out...?!
“No...! Master...!”
“The lights went out...
The horses and the flying rides...
They've all just stopped...!”
“No, I don't want this to happen...!
Master worked so hard to build this place for everybody here...!!”
“Wait, no...
This is no time to be crying...”
“If what master said is true, that means I can...! No, we can...!”
“Everyone...!! Can you hear me?!”
Huh? Does she mean us?
We hear you, Shao!
“Everyone, please! Lend me your energy!”
“This was the last thing master told me! Everybody here can use magic because you're all smiling, laughing and making this such a happy place...!!”
“I can't do this alone! I'm not as good at using magic like master was, so please, lend me your energy...!!”
“Lend me your smiles, your joy, your magic...!!”
Lend you our energy...? L-Like this...? Whoa!
These bracelets light up when you raise your hands...?
These bracelets...
They have sensors built into them so that they glow when everyone raises their hands during the finale...
You can do it, Shao...!
We believe in you!
Each guest is lighting up one by one. It's as if their smiles really are the source of all this magic...
No way...
“Everyone...! Thank you...!”
“I'm gonna try, master!
I'm gonna use this energy to make everyone smile...!”
“Please...!”
...!!
Look, the sky's all lit up! It's so beautiful...!!
This is unbelievable!
I have to get a picture of this!
Nana, look! There's so many stars!
They're beautiful, aren't they...?
I've never seen anything like this...
...
“I did it! I did it, master...!”
“It really worked... I got everyone to smile!”
I don't believe this! I've never seen any special effects like this before!
This is amazing! Thank you, Shao!
No, what am I doing...?!
Now's not the time to be admiring any of this!
All of you, hurry!
The show's over, so we need to get them out of here right now...
<And so, Shao and all of these people's magic helped bring happiness to everyone♪>
Hm? This voice...
<And they all lived happily ever after♪>
Look! It's Miku!
Yeah, she's floating in the sky!
Is she being projected or something?
H-Hatsune Miku?!
<Well, the story's over, but we're not done here yet...!>
<Yeah! Let's have a big party to cap everything off!>
<We're about to make everything happier and more fun than before♪>
<So let's smile, laugh and have a really good time☆ Starting... Now!>
Incredible...!
The lighting schemes for all the rides and attractions just changed completely...
