Okay... I think I have everything I need for today.

Oh, I could use those lights for the final scene too.

Hehe. Time to put on another fantastic show!

Argh!

That flash of light... What was it?!

You remember now, don't you, Black Knight? You used to wield your sword to protect people, to keep peace.

So those shinies were his memories coming back? It looked so pretty!

You're right... I'd forgotten what was really important to me.

I shall vow to only ever brandish my sword in the name of peace as I had in the past!

The Black Knight was once again back on the righteous path and peace returned to the world.

What a terrific story!

Maybe I could play a part too♪

Hah hah hah! I'm not surprised!

The light effect at the end deserves a special mention. It was a very clever lighting scheme!

Hehe, so it was worth the effort.

And the part where Tsukasa leaps almost up to the ceiling was so awesome♪

I loved that bit too! You shot up like a rocket, Tsukasa! It was so cool♪

I thought he was going to go through the roof.

Ah, yes. Being lifted up by hidden wires...

To be honest, I was scared senseless.

But you need to challenge yourself to make extraordinary performances! And I aim to be the world's greatest star!

If it's for the sake of entertaining my audience, I'll pull off even the most dangerous stunts with elegance and grace!

Well, well, it's certainly great to have a reliable guy such as yourself on the team.

I'm thinking of adding in a new part, especially for a star of your caliber. What do you say?

Ah, a new part...?!

What sort of thing do you have in mind? Is it gonna be fun?

I have a bad feeling about this...

Don't worry, I've made due considerations for health and safety. Although that performance may require some courage.

Hey, guys!

Hmm?

Who's that?

That's Len!

Hey, Leeen!

Like... Kagamine Len?

Yup, that's me!

Nice to meet you all♪

I was coming to see your show, but on the way here, I saw some plushies having an argument.

By the time I got them to calm down and make up, the show was over! I'm so gutted that I missed it...

I was wondering where you were.

It's a pity you couldn't make it.

Hmm... I feel sorry for Len missing out.

Why don't we do another performance for him?

YEESSS!

I'll even do it a hundred times!

A hundred might be a bit much...

But I suppose we could do it once more. It'll be good practice...

Then it's settled!

Feast your eyes on our wonderful show!

Awesome!

Everyone, thank you so much!

Aah, I had TONS of fun!

And Len really liked our show too!

Yeah. We also got some pointers for improvement.

Our big performance tomorrow is guaranteed to be a resounding success!

Yes, I'm sure it will go without a hitch... It might be time to start thinking of what our next show after that will be.

Already?

Why not? I already have some new ideas to play around with to make our next show even more entertaining.

Is that possible?!

I'm so hyped♪

You'll have me doing even trickier stunts, huh...?

Shouldn't you be pleased? It'll give you the attention you so badly crave, Mr. Self-proclaimed Star.

I think you meant to say acclaimed star!

It's going to be so amazing, Tsukasa!

Every show Rui comes up with is so much fun!

Fun, yes... But I'd rather not have a jetpack strapped to my back again, or anything like that.

Not your cup of tea, Tsukasa...?

It would make for a truly fantastic spectacle, worthy of a true star such as...

Alright, fine...!

I'll do whatever you need me to do!

If it's to put on a good show, then I'll do anything!

As long as you can promise me that whatever antics you have me do will make the audience roar with delight.

Hehe, you can be sure of that.

It's definitely going to be a crowd-pleaser of the highest caliber.

Ascending to the stage from the seats won't have enough of an impact. He needs to make a powerful impression as a knight...

Oh, I've got it! That will definitely be better! But I'll have to assess its practicality and safety first.

Hehe...

You look like you've been having the time of your life lately.

Oh, have I?

Yeah. You look like you're having fun.

Before, you...

What do you mean, Nene?

You seemed bored all the time before, but now you keep making this weird face.

How is it weird? Should I be concerned?

Jokes aside, you may be right...

I'm finally living my life.

Being able to put my ideas into action feels amazing.

Anyways, the stage is sorted and we're ready to hold our show. I'll start planning the next one in the meantime.

Hmm... Maybe I can make it easier for Tsukasa by reusing some of the gimmicks that worked with him last time.

Hehe...

I'm happy for you, Rui.

Alright! Let's get started with the rehearsal...!

Miss!

Hm? What's up?

A notice about an event that's to be held here just came in...!

An event?

Dad didn't mention anything about that...

What sort of event is it?

Here's the flyer.

Let's see...

The First Phoenix Show Contest...?

Did you just say Show Contest...?!
