Alright, it's about to get dark!
Let's call it a day!
Okay♪ Great work, everyone☆
Yeah, nice work today.
Now to clean everything up.
Right. Let's start with the big props...
Oh, uh... Before we do, can I say something?
Hm? Yes?
Is your tummy rumbling?
No, Emu, that's you.
It's that...
There's something I'd like to ask you guys to do...
Ask us?
This is rare...
No matter. Ask away!
Okay...
Have you guys heard about the VIRTUAL SINGER Fan Festival event that's happening soon...?
I see. And it's held each year to celebrate and show appreciation for VIRTUAL SINGERS...
Yes, now that you mention it, I do vaguely recall. But what is it that you'd like to ask of us?
Um...
So, my friends and I are gonna be performing and...
Y-You and your friends...?!
Y-Yeah, and... Well...
One of them's having a little trouble with their dance sequence, I was wondering if we could invite them here and help them out a little...
Ne... Ne...
...?
Tsukasa?
Nene's going to bring her friends here?!
K-Keep it down, will you?!
You don't need to yell...!
I can't help it...!
You, Nene Kusanagi, bringing friends over?!
All you do at school is play games on your phone all alone...! Not only that, you don't really like talking to strangers...!
But... But you have real friends!
Can I slap him now...?
Hehe. There, there.
Yeah, Nene, what are your friends like?!
*Gasp*
Yes, of course...!
We'll need to hear all about them so that we can put on a welcoming party for them!
No, that really won't be necessary.
Anyway... You guys already know Hoshino. She's actually the one who told me about the Fan Festival.
Ah, Ichika! She's liked Miku for as long as I can remember, and I even remember her saying that she wanted to perform in this event one day.
Then there's Azusawa.
She's the one Emu calls “Hammie”.
Ah, our #1 fan.
Oh wow! That means we get to have practice with Ichika and Kohane! Yay☆
Oh, there's also one more.
She's an idol from a group called MORE MORE JUMP!
MORE MORE JUMP!...?
Yeah, she also goes to Miya Girls.
I'm sure you already know her, Emu. Her name's Hanasato...
Oh, you mean Minori?!
Yeah. She's actually who I was originally talking about. I was hoping that we could help her out a little.
This might sort of fall squarely on your shoulders, Rui.
I don't mind.
But about her group's name. I could've sword I'd heard it before... MORE MORE...
When we went to the highlands to train, right? Airi Momoi and Shizuku Hinomori are also a part of that group...
Ah, I knew it!
It's Airi Momoi's group!
You know about them, Tsukasa?
Saki's a huge fan!
I'm actually more surprised by the fact that Rui seems to know who they are. Why is that?
I don't know actually them personally or anything. There's a couple of degrees of separation between us.
One of them being Mizuki.
Ah, of course!
Akiyama does seem to know quite a few people.
Mizuki? Akiyama...?
Oh, you haven't met them yet, have you, Emu?
Mizuki and I went to the same junior high school, and is currently a first year at Kamiyama.
Mizuki's even the one who designed my and Nene and Robo-Nene's costumes.
Huh...?
Whoa! Your friend made those!
That's so cool!
Wait, hold on!
This is news to me!
Same.
Oh, pardon my indiscretion.
I wasn't sure if it was okay for me to tell anyone this.
Nonsense! If what you say is true, your friend has been a key part of Wonderlands×Showtime's success from the very beginning!
I'd like to thank your friend for what they've done for us.
M-Me too...
Hehe. It seems a little late to...
Because you didn't tell us!
I wanna join too since you're all going to say thank you♪
You don't go to our school, so you'll just have to wait!
Aww...
It's a little late for that too.
Hehe.
Haha.
