Hah hah hah!

Day two was also a great success!

The crowd went all the way to the back too! A lot of them even decided to buy advance tickets for Phoenix Wonderland♪

Indeed, they did. And as long as we keep this up, our final performances should go swimmingly.

But we should also be careful not to let our guard down...

Right. I'll make sure to charge Robo-Nene... Huh?

Where'd she go? She was right here just now.

Hey, there she is!

No, I don't wanna go home yet!

I wanna keep playing on the beach!

We can't stay here forever.

But if you want to stay that much, we can just leave you here.

No!!

Beep... Konnichi-wonderhoy!

Whoa!

Is that a robot...?

The beach is a place that's full of fun and wonderment, like a really exciting show, so it is sad to leave it behind.

But in time, that sadness will turn into anticipation and even more wonderful memories the next time you visit.

The beach can't say this, so I'll say it in its place... See you again!

Hahaha...!

You're funny, Ms. Robot!

Next time, huh...?

Yeah, we should come again next year.

Yay!

Bye bye, Ms. Robot!

Bye bye.

Robo-Nene...

Hehe. It's not just us. Robo-Nene also wants everybody to go home smiling.

That was amazing☆

Nice work, Robo-Nene!

And how she's been engineered still baffles me... It's as if her AI or machine learning algorithm has figured out how we want others to feel...

Maybe...

Anyway, Robo-Nene, let's keep this up tomorrow too.

Beep... Roger!

Costume, check! Props, check! Robo-Nene, check...!

(Today's the day when Ms. Kazamatsuri's supposed to come see our show...!)

(I'm getting nervous already...)

(But I want her to feel what I did when I first saw her sing all those years ago...!)

Alright, this is it! Our final performance! Let's go out with a real bang!

Yes. The show must go on until the very end.

Then here we go!

Let's make this show...

Wonderhoy!!

(Thank goodness I made it in time. Looks like the first few rows are for children only, so this seat should do nicely...)

(Sitting in an amphitheater like this really takes me back...)

We will now be having a special showing of The Adventures of the Merprince and Little Mermaids.

The Adventures of the Merprince and the Little Mermaids? Hehe. Sound interesting!

Sister!!

Big sis!

Huh?! W-Wait...!

Didn't I tell you not to barge into my coral reef like that?! I'm busy nap... Getting in some beauty sleep!

Forget that! Just look at this book, will you?

What the...? The Little Mermaid...?

(So they took the Little Mermaid and turned into a clever little mermaid adventure... It's very easy to pick up too.)

Geez...

Do I really have to drink this thing...?

But...

The surface world's supposed to be really dull, right?

Still, seeing what city life, parties, castles and stuff are like might be a little fun...

But I'm still scared of wandering around such a strange place.

No, I want to try something new and interesting.

(Trying something new and interesting, huh...?)

(I used to be the same way. Even now, after I found the spotlight, I decided to go abroad...)

(I had my ups and downs, but I don't regret making that decision.)

Finally, we made it to a human settlement!

This is what they call a 'city'?

There's so many big buildings!

Hey, don't forget that we have to keep drinking these potions every hour to keep our legs, so be careful.

(So far so good!)

(I exit the stage after some games catch my eye, and lose track of where my brother and sister are in the process.)

(They get captured by Rui, now the bad guy, and I decide to drink the potion after hearing them scream to turn into Robo-Nene...)

Huh? Where's Robo-Nene...?

She was right here just now...?!

N-No, stop!

Don't kick it! This robot's a good guy!

But look how strong it is!

It'll be fine!

Huh? Is something going on backstage...?

Violence is bad.

That is not happy.

Hey, it's talking! Cool!

Maybe it can shoot rockets and stuff too!

Oh, there's a weird-looking door!

Let's hit it!

Beep... That compartment contains my circuit boards. Please, do not hit it...

Oh no...!

H-Hey...!

Busted! Run!

I-I'm so sorry...!

You don't have to apologize. You were the one that was trying to stop them, right? Still, what happened here...?

I started crying after I tripped and fell, but this robot came to help...

Then those other kids came along and started hitting it for fun...

But I couldn't stop them! I'm so sorry!

No, really, it's okay.

Thank you for protecting Robo-Nene.

(But... What do I do?

Recharging her won't really fix this...)

(The climax where I transform into Robo-Nene won't be the same without her...!)

Nene...?

What are you doing there? You're almost up.

Rui...! Robo-Nene, she's...!

Oh, this is nothing...

Some connectors just came loose, so just give me a few minutes to reconnect them.

Really?! Thank goodness...

But the Robo-Nene scene is also coming up. I'll need you to buy me some time while I fix her.

However, Tsukasa and Emu are captives, so there isn't much they can do in terms of improvising...

Improvise...

(And Rui's gonna be busy fixing Robo-Nene, so that means I'm the only one that can do anything about this.)

(But what am I supposed to do?

I'm not very good at ad-libbing like everybody else...)

(No, now's not the time for that...!

I need to do whatever I can right now!)

(I don't want our audience to go home disappointed!)

(I need to do everything I can to make sure our show makes them all smile and laugh!)

Rui...

I'll try...

I'll try to buy as much time as I can for you, so please, fix Robo-Nene!

Huh?

You're the only one here who can fix her, Rui, and the other two are still on stage, so they have no idea what's going on back here.

So it's all up to me... I'll do what I can!

Okay, understood...

Good luck, Nene.

Thanks!
