Thank you for coming to see the show!

We hope to see you again soon!

Oh, the cast members are thanking us. It must be because this is the anniversary show. I still can't believe how good it was!

I know, right?!

The scene at the end with Rio and the phoenix totally blew me away. I felt so much empathy for them...

The audience seems to have enjoyed our show very much...

Yeah, and everyone did a really good job.

I think we put on a great performance.

I was also able to give it everything I had.

Your singing was sooo amazing, Nene!

My heart went all bang-zoom-kapow and I...!

Yes.

You've improved quite a lot it seems.

Huh...?

Nicely done.

It was a wonderful performance.

Seiryuin...

Compared to before, your singing and acting were like night and day.

I never thought that you could improve so quickly in such a short period.

This was only possible because you went out of your way to contact Ms. Kazamatsuri for me. Otherwise, well...

Yes, asking her to help you seems to have been well worth it.

I really genuinely thought that we put on an amazing show, and it was nice to be able to see what I was missing. As a result, I was able to give it absolutely everything I had today.

Obviously, Seiryuin, I'm still nowhere near your level... But I'm really glad that I was given this chance.

So, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to grow.

Nene...

Yes, well...

Let's just say that you owe me one now.

However...

I disagree with your statement regarding you not being at my level.

What...?

Naturally, this show revolved around Rio and myself. After all, we are the main characters.

However...

Your singing and acting gave us a massive boost.

My singing and acting...?

Yes.

The scene where Rio hesitates to plunge his dagger into the phoenix...

We were clearly one with the audience.

One with the audience...

Yes, that scene was so immersive that those watching became a part of it. Almost as though we and the audience were in lockstep with the protagonists.

And what allowed that to happen was the Cowardly Canary's song.

My song...?

Your song was so moving that it brought the entire venue together as one.

As such, I disagree with your earlier statement.

Goodness, what am I saying?

Let's just say you owe me for this too.

Seiryuin...

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that you need to stop undermining yourself so much. That'll only cut off your potential. Once you understand that...

I dare you to rise.

To my level.

Oh...

Now, Wonderlands×Showtime, if you'll excuse me...

Did you hear that, Nene?!

Sakurako Seiryuin just gave you a glowing review!

She said that your song made our show what it is!

I'm so happy for you!

Thanks...

I really couldn't have done this without her.

Did Sakurako already leave?

I didn't get a chance to congratulate her!

Ms. Kazamatsuri...?!

*Gasp*

You being here means...

I-I-I-I-I-Is Mr. Amami also present here with you right now at this very moment?!?!

Hehe. As energetic as ever, I see.

I'm sorry he's so obnoxious...

I hardly consider that a bad thing.

I mean, he projects his voice so well.

But I do need to apologize.

Seiichi just ran off saying that he had to use his quick pass for something called...the “fish coaster”?

Oh—

I see...

That's unfortunate...

Mr. Amami's going on the fish coaster...?!

A world-famous star riding the fish coaster... That's quite an image.

Anyway, enough about Seiichi...

Nene, congratulations on your performance. I'm so glad all that training paid off!

Thank you very much.

You taught me so much, Ms. Kazamatsuri...

And I was able to do my best as a result. It really felt like I grew and made some progress...

Hehe. That's great to hear!

But...

You can't be satisfied with just this.

...!

All I did was teach you a few things, Nene. We weren't able to take a deeper dive because we were so short on time.

Yes, I taught you things that took me a very long time to learn. But that's just the tip of the iceberg...

What you need to do moving forward is meet even more new people, learn as much as you can and use what you experience to grow even further.

To grow even further...

That's right. So, you can't stop here.

Like I said before, Nene, you have nowhere to go but up.

I'll be looking forward to seeing just how much you've grown the next time we meet!

Ms. Kazamatsuri...

Thank you...

By the time we meet next...

I promise to have grown even more.

So, thank you very much...

I really appreciate what you did for me this time around!

*Sigh*

This area's all cleaned up now.

Tsukasa, how's your side going?

Swimmingly!

We should be done once I carry this ladder over!

Okay.

Then, lemme help since it looks pretty heavy.

Ah, excellent. Much appreciated!

I know I say this every time, but it's always sad to see all the props and stuff get put away. It feels like this show's really over, you know...?

Yes, you're right.

It's sad to see this show in particular end since it was a joint production.

We may work together again someday, but it likely won't exactly be with the same group of people...

Yeah, but...

This show made me want to try performing with other people in different places.

Especially since Ms. Kazamatsuri said that I should and how I stand to grow from those experiences. I really wanna make that happen...

Without this show, I never would've realized just how much work I still needed or figured out what my habits were. And above all else, I wouldn't have gotten a chance to learn from Ms. Kazamatsuri.

Yes, I have to agree with you there...

Yeah, so...

I see now just how much time I've been wasting.

In hindsight, I let way too many opportunities to learn and grow go...

Which is why I wanna start doing more like you, Tsukasa. I'm gonna start attending workshops, appearing in shows with other troupes and...

See more of the world we're in.

Nene...

I'm gonna keep experiencing new things, keep growing...

And make my dream of becoming a world-class musical actress come true.

I see...

I know exactly how you feel.

I too wish to stand on top of this world of ours!

So, let us both do our best as we keep aiming for the top!

Yeah, let's do it!

Nene and Tsukasa sound so optimistic about the future...

This show must've given them both a nice push.

I've known Nene for quite a while now, but I'd never seen her shine on stage like that before...

Me neither. Nene's singing and Tsukasa's acting were both so amazing...

They sparkled so much...

Emu...

When the time comes for them to say that they wish to leave the Wonder Stage, will you try to follow in their footsteps?

Nope.

Because my dream is to protect Grandpa's amusement park and keep it the way it is.

And make a place where everyone smiles!

...

Yes, I see...

(Emu has been saying that ever since we all met her, and has been unbending when it comes to this matter...)

(Which is why we've been able to support her in her endeavors.)

(But...)

(Emu's dream...

All our dreams... The only person who thinks we can make them come true together is...)

We should hurry and get this all cleaned up before Nene and the others all go home without us!

Yes, let's...

(My ego wishes for that...)

(But is it right for me to do so...?)

(I should discuss this with “them”.)

(To see what is the best path forward for us...

For Wonderlands×Showtime.)
