The next day
Coast
1
Character icon
Nene

Hm...?

Is it morning already...?

2
Character icon
Emu

Mhm... Nene...

You shouldn't eat that gingerbread house... The witch covered it in hot mustard...

3
Character icon
Nene

Geez, Emu.

What kind of dream are you...?

4
Character icon
Tsukasa

Sally sells seashells by the seashore!!!

5
Character icon
Emu

Huh?!

6
Character icon
Nene

So loud...

7
Character icon
Robo-Nene

120 dB.

About the same as the rotor on a helicopter.

8
Character icon
Rui

That's quite a lot of energy this early in the day.

9
Character icon
Tsukasa

Hm? Ah, pardon me. Did I wake you all?

10
Character icon
Tsukasa

We won't make our show now, but Shosuke did say that he'd make amends somehow, right...?

11
Character icon
Tsukasa

Which is why I thought we should be ready to perform at any given time.

12
Character icon
Emu

Tsukasa...

13
Character icon
Rui

In that case, I'd like to join you.

14
Character icon
Nene

Me too...

You don't get many chances to practice in a place like this.

15
Character icon
Emu

Alright, let's do a run together!

Starting from... The climax!

16
Character icon
Nene

Wait, starting with the climax?!

17
Character icon
Emu

Yeah, because I really love that scene!

Anyway, here we go!

18
Character icon
Knight A

“Princess!

What are we to do? Their army's already come this close...!”

19
Character icon
Nene

*Sigh*

Alright, I'll play along...

20
Character icon
Princess

“So they have... How are our forces doing?”

21
Character icon
Knight B

“Wounded and fatigued.

At this rate, we'll be...”

22
Character icon
Princess

“Th-This is rather unsettling...

Not only are people getting hurt, but lives may also be lost along with this country's future...”

23
Character icon
Princess

“But we cannot run forever...”

24
Character icon
Princess

“We must make a stand...!”

25
Character icon
Princess

“My warriors! Now is the time to take up arms!”

26
Character icon
Knight C

“Let's do this...!

One last battle to end it all!”

27
Character icon
Knight A

“Yes, sir!”

28
Character icon
Emu

Wow... That was so amazing!

It's like we were in an acting zone just now!

29
Character icon
Rui

Yes, our tempo and delivery came together perfectly. I'm not sure we've ever synced up so well before.

30
Character icon
Tsukasa

What if it's because of our little adventure?! Did having to find a way to survive make us a more cohesive unit?!

31
Character icon
Emu

I think so!

Especially since we did so much stuff together!

32
Character icon
Emu

And Nene's acting!

That might've been the best she's ever done during one of our practices!

33
Character icon
Rui

Yes, especially the last part.

You could sense the terror her character was feeling as she delivered that line.

34
Character icon
Nene

Now that you mention it, I did have an easier time getting into character. Why do you think that is...?

35
Character icon
Rui

I have to think it's because of our survival adventure.

36
Character icon
Nene

Huh...?

37
Character icon
Nene

Our survival adventure...?

38
Character icon
Nene

(I-Isn't there any other way...?!)

39
Character icon
Nene

(They sorta have a point. The tension in the air before the curtains go up, being scared of forgetting my lines or worrying about staying in pitch during a song...)

40
Character icon
Nene

(Compared to all that, this is...!)

41
Character icon
MEIKO

<It won't be easy, but doing your best by working together as a team to get through this will do wonders for you in the future.>

42
Character icon
Nene

Now I understand...

This is what MEIKO meant by what she said.

43
Character icon
Rui

Oh, about our experience paying dividends in the future? Yes, everything she said was correct.

44
Character icon
Tsukasa

We'll need to thank her for encouraging us like that!

45
Character icon
Emu

But we can't right now because your phone's battery ran out... I feel like we should take back something as a souvenir...

46
Character icon
Emu

Oh, what about the bananas pickled in seawater that Rui talked about yesterday?

47
Character icon
Nene

Yeah, you can't really have that anywhere else... But that seems more like a punishment than a gift...

48
Character icon
Rui

Although, it could be tastier than we expect.

49
Character icon
Tsukasa

And we ate almost all the food we gathered yesterday...

50
Character icon
Robo-Nene

50 dB...

About the same as a home air conditioner.

51
Character icon
Emu

Huh?

Isn't that pretty low for Tsukasa's voice?

52
Character icon
Tsukasa

Don't make it sound like I'm shouting at the top of my lungs 24/7!

53
Character icon
Rui

No, I don't think she was picking up Tsukasa's voice...

54
Character icon
Emu

Wah?! Wh-What's that noise?!

55
Character icon
Robo-Nene

120 dB.

About the same as the rotor on a helicopter.

56
Character icon
Nene

The same as the rotor on a...?

57
Character icon
Rui

It's the sound of a real helicopter.

58
Character icon
Emu

What?!

59
Character icon
Shosuke

Ah, it's here.

Sooner than expected too.

60
Character icon
Emu

Huh?! Shosuke?!

Where were you all this time?!

61
Character icon
Shosuke

I managed to fix the radio around dawn, managed to send out an SOS signal and have been waving around a flag along the coast so that someone might see us.

62
Character icon
Shosuke

We can finally leave this place.

63
Character icon
Tsukasa

Excellent!

64
Character icon
Nene

Thank goodness...

65
Character icon
Emu

But we all enjoyed our little desert island adventure, right? It might be nice to do this again someday!

66
Character icon
Shosuke

We don't have time for that right now. You and your troupe have a show to do.

67
Character icon
Rui

What?

Does that mean...?

68
Character icon
Shosuke

Not today, but I managed to rework your schedule.

69
Character icon
Shosuke

You'll be performing tomorrow due to another party canceling due to the same storm we encountered.

70
Character icon
Shosuke

They were kind enough to let us take that slot.

71
Character icon
Emu

Tomorrow...?

72
Character icon
Emu

What do you mean? Tomorrow?

So... Today?! What time?!

73
Character icon
Tsukasa

Calm down!

Tomorrow as in tomorrow! The next day! Not today!

74
Character icon
Nene

I sort of expected it to get postponed, but I didn't think we'd be performing so soon...

75
Character icon
Shosuke

Right.

You haven't had much sleep and are still probably very tired, so you're hardly in the best condition to perform.

76
Character icon
Shosuke

With that in mind, can you still do this...?

77
Character icon
Nene

Yes.

78
Character icon
Nene

Because we're Wonderlands×Showtime.

Anything is possible when it comes to us.

79
Character icon
Emu

Right, let's practice while we're on the helicopter!

80
Character icon
Tsukasa

Agreed!

Let's shift gears and get ready to make everyone smile!

81
Character icon
Emu

Oh, also!

Let's do our usual cheer!

The one that helps us put smiles on everyone's faces!

82
Character icon
Tsukasa

W-Wait, here?!

83
Character icon
Rui

Like we did before we went on the cruiser.

84
Character icon
Nene

Yeah, if it'll help us get prepared mentally...

85
Character icon
Emu

Hehe. Alright, here we go!

Our show's gonna make everyone smile from ear to ear! Ready...?

86
Character icon
Everyone

Wonderhoy!
