Hmm...

Shiho's been gone a long time...

2
Character icon
Haruka

Yeah, you're right. She did mention something about Tenma's group needing a little more time before they perform...

3
Character icon
Minori

Oh, right... I've been meaning to ask Kohane about that since she's in Saki's group, but I haven't seen her for a while now either...

4
Character icon
Haruka

Oh, there go the lights. Does this mean that they're about to start...?

5
Character icon
Haruka

Huh? Wait, is that...?

6
Character icon
Saki

Hello, everyone♪

Welcome to Saki and Emu's magic show!

7
Character icon
Saki

We were actually supposed to do our real performance now, but we ran into some trouble and need a little more time to get ready...

8
Character icon
Saki

We apologize for making you all wait like this! But in the meantime, we'd like to do a magic show for you! We hope you like it♪

9
Character icon
Minori

They ran into some trouble? So they're doing a magic show instead...?

10
Character icon
Haruka

I don't really understand either, but I guess they're buying time for their other group members...?

11
Character icon
Saki

Alright, I hope you're ready.

Presenting our great magician, Emu!

13
Character icon
Emu

Yup! Loud and clear☆ But it's funny how you're sitting in my pocket like this, Miku♪

14
Character icon
Miku's Voice

<Right? It's like I'm your fairy companion.>

15
Character icon
Emu

Hehe. Especially since we're the same height in SEKAI!

16
Character icon
Emu

Anyway, Miku, I'll be counting on your help...!

Character icon
Miku's Voice

<You got it! I'll tell you exactly what you need to do, so don't worry☆>

18

Thanks!

Alright, let's use our magic to make everyone smile!

19
Character icon

Let's give our star a big round of applause!!

20
Character icon
Emu

Hi, everybody!!

Welcome to our magic show!

21
Character icon
Emu

Let's start with an extra special trick☆

Out of this hat, many things will appear!

22
Character icon
Minori

Oh, this is better than I expected! I can't wait to see what happens!

23
Character icon
Haruka

Me too. Otori's a seasoned stage performer, so I'm sure she'll do great.

24
Character icon
Emu

Now, Saki, if you'll repeat after me...♪

Cards! Cards! Wherever you are!

25
Character icon
Saki

Okay!

Uh... Cards! Cards! Wherever you are!

26
Character icon
Emu

Ta-daah!

Cards everywhere!!

27
Character icon
Saki

Whoa, that's amazing...!

So many playing cards...!

28
Character icon
Minori

What?! Was she hiding all those cards in her hat?!

29
Character icon
Haruka

Maybe, I'm not sure...! I wonder how she did it...

30
Character icon
Emu

(Honami and Kohane still aren't back yet, huh...?)

31
Character icon
Emu

(Shiho said that she'll give us a signal when they did...)

32
Character icon
Emu

(I'm sure they're doing their best. That means Saki and I need to keep trying too...!)

33
Character icon
Emu

Next, these cards will magically turn into... Mr. Fishy!

34
Character icon
Saki

What? Mr. Fishy?

35
Character icon
Emu

Three, two, one... Wonderhoy!!

36
Character icon
Saki

Whoa, they turned into a fish plushie!

37
Character icon
Minori

Haruka, that was so cool!

How on earth did she just do that?!

38
Character icon
Haruka

I don't know either.

It's also incredible how they had time to work on this alongside their actual performance...

39
Character icon
Emu

And to finish, let's return our little fishy friend back to its home in the ocean!

40
Character icon
Saki

Back into the ocean?

How?

41
Character icon
Emu

Heh heh heh. Leave that to the great Emu☆

42
Character icon
Emu

Let's all say farewell to our friend, everyone! Three, two, one, wonderhoy!!

43
Character icon
Saki

What?! It turned into blue confetti...?!

44
Character icon
Minori

Oh, it's so pretty!!

45
Character icon
Haruka

It is...!

It's like the stage is the ocean now...

46
Character icon
Emu

Mr. Fishy made it back to the ocean!

47
Character icon
Emu

Oh...

48
Character icon
Emu

(Thank goodness, they made it back! We did it, Saki! We can do our real performance now!)

49
Character icon
Emu

And Mr. Fishy being back home in the ocean means our magic show must sadly come to an end!

50
Character icon
Saki

Thanks, everyone! We hope you enjoyed it!

51
Character icon
Emu

Bye bye!!

52
Character icon
Honami

Thank you for being so patient!

53
Character icon

Yes, thank you both. How did you come up with that act so fast...?

54
Character icon
Saki

Hona! Kohane!

You made it!!

55
Character icon
Emu

I'm so glad you're both back!

56
Character icon
Emu

Luckily, Saki did super duper good, so everything went really smoothly!

57
Character icon
Saki

Shiho helped too!

58
Character icon
Shiho

Hardly. Well, maybe a little...

59
Character icon

Thank you so much.

Where were you?

68
Character icon
Shiho

Something came up and...

69
Character icon
Minori

Oh, I think they're about to start!

70
Character icon
Honami

(This is it...!)

71
Character icon
Honami

(We practiced so much. On top of that, Emu and Saki did a second performance for us. I have to give this everything I have...!)

72
Character icon
Honami

We really appreciate your patience, everyone! I hope you enjoy our performance!

73
Character icon
Emu

We'll be singing a really wonderhoy song for you!!

87

It fit in perfectly, like it was meant for this song.)
