<Now, we'll be using your magical smiles to give Phoenix Wonderland a little makeover! Let's kick off our Smiling Nighttime event!>
<The night is still young!
It's showtime!>
Hey, we should go on the Ferris wheel! I bet everything looks amazing from up there right now!
The roller coaster's effects are different now compared to during the day! Let's check it out!
What...?
Now they're all lining up for these rides...?!
I don't believe this...!
(Phoenix Wonderland has always had fewer rides and attractions compared to other parks, which hindered our ticket sales...)
(We even tried an illumination scheme before to try and get guests to come at night, but that didn't work out either...)
(It felt like there just wasn't a good way to differentiate ourselves from the bigger parks.)
(Yet...)
(This show gave this spectacle meaning. It made our guests want to go on these rides and be a part of it all.)
(By putting on these sorts of performances, we might just be able to ignite that spark and get more guests to go on these rides more...)
The Wonder Stage troupe actually planned for all of this to happen...?
Yes, it's me. What is it...?
What?! Pre-sale tickets have sold out for the next three months?! Even night tickets for during the week?!
“PXL” is trending at #1...?
Videos of the finale for this show are already getting millions of views...?!
What?!
That show did all of that?!
It seems like it...
It's doing particularly well among middle and high schoolers it seems. They appear to be the ones buying up all the weeknight tickets.
Y-You can't be serious...
<Unfortunately, it's almost time for us to say farewell...>
<Yeah, I hate to say goodbye at a time like this, but we hope to see all your smiling faces again!>
<Everyone! Thank you for coming!>
<Thank you!!>
Bravo! Bravo!!
Emu...
Emu, do you know what you've done...!
Dad, Keisuke, Shosuke...
I... Um...
I'm sorry!
But I just couldn't give up!
I want Phoenix Wonderland to be “a place that makes everyone smile” forever and ever!
I don't care if you replace all the rides and get rid of the stages...
I just don't want it to stop being a place where everyone can smile, laugh and be happy!
I'm sure that as long as we try to do that, we'll get more and more guests to come and visit... Please...!
...
Mind if I mention something as well...?
Mr. Riley...?
I can honestly say this after seeing your show today.
I would absolutely love to see more of this park's sensational shows...!
...
A show that involved the entire park. Others around the world have done it before, but it is quite a rare sight nonetheless.
And I would not have been so moved if it weren't for everybody here believing in what they were doing...
The eyes of each cast member sparkled as if to symbolize their hopes of making every single guest smile and laugh...
Very few people are capable of creating an amusement park that is as wonderful as this one.
...
So what if we did this? Instead of recreating this park in the image of my company's characters...
Why don't we just join together and add them in?
What...?
A-Are you sure...?
A thought occurred to me. I saw a future where my company's characters, my children in a way, could be a part of your park's wonderful shows.
I have a feeling that this place will be peerless in terms of just how much joy and laughter it will be filled with...
Mr. Riley...
Of course, we can minimize any licensing fees that will be necessary. So, how does that sound...?
That's...! Y-Yes, thank you very much!
...
Father...!
My apologies, Keisuke, Shosuke...
What?
I was convinced that it would be inappropriate of me to express my own personal beliefs regarding this park...
I was certain that, as the head of the Otori Group, I would have to make tough decisions and sacrifices in order to keep everything running...
However...
It appears that part of me was still there...
What part of you?
The part that could not be happier to hear that my father's park will be able to remain as it is...
Father...
Mr. Riley, I'd like to express my utmost gratitude for what you've done here for us today. I'm looking forward to our future endeavors...
Thank you! I as well!
And you, Emu...
Don't think that you're off the hook just yet...
What?!
But for now... I suppose you deserve a free pass...
Thanks to your dreams, father and Keisuke seem much better now...
...!
So that means...?
Our show was a success.
Really?!
Yay!
Of course, you couldn't have done this without me.
I see...
Huh? You've frozen up...?
I was ready to cover my ears since you usually exclaim something ridiculous at times like these...
Is he in silent mode?
Or could it be because this show's finally over?
No... I mean...
How do I put it...?
All these people...
As far as I can see, they're smiling and enjoying themselves...
It's really a sight to behold.
Yeah!
This really is sooo...
Wonderhoy!
Right♪
Hahaha!
Hah hah hah hah!
Yesterday's show could not have gone better! A decisive victory indeed!
It's still getting a lot of buzz online too. I'm sure more and more guests will come to visit.
Hehe. To be fair, I didn't expect this to become known throughout the country.
I believe we have Emu's “Smiling Spell” to thank for that.
No, it was because of you guys!
Thank you so much for doing this!
Oh, also, my brothers are supposed to come and visit us today!
What? Your brothers?
Yes, that will be us.
Do you have some time to talk?
Oh, we didn't expect to see you again so soon.
W-What do you want...?
First, we'd like to express our gratitude. Thank you for putting on such a wonderful performance.
Huh...?
Somewhere along the way, I'd convinced myself that dreams and ideals were too frivolous to be bothered with...
But you proved me wrong. I realize how great it is to be able to believe in something now.
Which is why there's something we'd like you to do.
Something you want us to do?
Just what exactly...?
We want you to become ambassadors for Phoenix Wonderland.
Ambassadors...?
Your show has turned Wonderlands×Showtime into an overnight sensation. This new position is designed to make full use of that fame.
We'd like you to keep putting on shows like the one we saw yesterday, as well as at the Wonder Stage, while also performing at venues outside of Phoenix Wonderland as its representatives.
The original plan was to have the winners of the Show Contest appear in a new commercial for the park, but that's all been washed aside now...
Instead, we'll be having you perform new shows and advertise for this park.
Wait, that means...!
This is our chance to have the entire country see our incredible shows!
Yes, we accept your offer!
Hold your horses. Shouldn't we hear more details first before we dive in like that?
Hehe. Oh, I'm sure we'll be fine.
Yes, you'll have our full support as well. Outwardly, it's for the sake of this park...
But you reminded us of what Phoenix Wonderland is capable of and we want you to help us reach that potential. We promise not to disappoint.
Yes, it's as Keisuke said.
We're looking forward to seeing more.
Shall we call this the end of act one and the beginning of act two...?
Yeah...
Everything ended on a high note, but it also means we still have plenty of work left to do, right...?
Alright then!
Wonderlands×Showtime, on me!
Yeah!
Guh! I didn't say you could tackle me!
Now...
We, Wonderlands×Showtime, will be beginning our new journey as ambassadors for this park!
As we embark upon this new endeavor, we will very likely also be faced with new hurdles that we must conquer.
But our goal will remain the same!
We'll be bringing joy to everyone with our shows!
Let us take on these challenges and make our dream a reality!
So then, Emu, will you do the honors...?
What honors?
Yup! Oh, you wanna join in too, Keisuke, Shosuke? When I say this you'll...
What? There's no way I'm doing that!
I see. Sure, I'll bite...
You will?!
Okay, here we go...!
Everyone...
Wonderhoy!
Nooo! Why didn't you say it, Shosuke?!
Are you serious?! Why would I do something like that?!
Hahaha!
This reminds me of when we were kids, Shosuke!
So begins the act two of Wonderlands×Showtime's magnificent spectacle!!
