Oh, finally!
Yay! You're here!
Welcome, everyone♪
Zzz...
And still, Luka can sleep through all this racket...
To her, it may sound like some sort of lullaby.
Nene! Nene!
How'd the Fan Festival go? Was it fun?
You practiced a lot with your friends, right? Tell us how everything went!
Okay, okay. Will you all just calm down?
We'll be rehearsing on stage today, so mind telling us after we make our way over?
Okay, sure.
Let's go, Nene♪
Okay, okay.
You guys saw Nene sing too, right, Emu, Rui?
Yup! We even got to see everyone else perform so we've got lots to talk about!
Wonderful! We'd love to hear all about it♪
Zzz...
Luka, wake up!
Hehe. We'll have to do our best not to disappoint.
They always get so worked up each time we visit here.
Hehe. Never a dull moment. Anyway, shall we?
Yes, let's... Hm? Come to think of it, I haven't seen any sign of Miku. Especially since she's usually the one charging into all of our conversations.
Oh, she's a little busy right now...
Mind if we chat for a minute once we get to the stage?
...?
Mikudayo☆
Aaahhhhh!!
Huh? Miku...?
It's been so long that I'd completely forgotten. That was quite an entrance.
Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you like that. I'm sure you've already guessed...
Yes, Miku's the one inside.
That's right. Mikudayo♪
Operation: Miku's Big Surprise was all ready to go, but I couldn't move all of a sudden...
Mikudayo's leg got wedged in and stuck while off stage, and I couldn't get her out myself.
I was going to ask MEIKO but...
I was afraid that she'd get a little carried away...
Then, Mikudayo would've been in real danger. Maybe in many pieces too.
But you saved me last time, Tsukasa♪ I feel much better now that you're here.
O-Okay...?
Anyway, you need a hand, yes?
Yes, if you don't mind.
Okay, here we go... One, two...!
Oh, there! I'm free!
Thanks, KAITO, Tsukasa!
I'm free☆ I'm finally free☆
There she goes...
I believe she wants to show herself off to Emu and the others.
Thank you for your help, Tsukasa. And thank you for always looking after Miku like this.
No, it's the least I can do considering everything you've all done for us. I should be the one thanking you.
So, thank you, for all the help you've given us.
Tsukasa...
It seems only fitting since the VIRTUAL SINGER Fan Festival was held just recently.
Hehe. There's no need to be so formal. We're all friends here, aren't we?
We just enjoy seeing the way you and your troupe have grown, and we feel so much joy when you make real progress.
Thanks.
Also, I see...
Hm? Y-Yes? Why are you looking at me like that?
Just the other day, MEIKO was talking about how you're turning into the plushies' father of sorts, and I finally understood what she meant by that just now.
Haha... I'd really rather be their “big brother” instead of their “father”...
Regardless, your “siblings” already seem like quite a handful...
Haha. Not necessarily.
They do run me ragged sometimes, but it always ends up being fun in the end.
You know what I mean by that, don't you, Tsukasa?
The joy you feel whenever any of your siblings smiles and laughs.
Oh...
Yes, I do!
When someone I care about feels happy, I can't help but feel happy myself.
Smiles are really incredible, aren't they?
And shows serve as a source of those smiles!
Yes, they certainly do.
Let's keep making as many shows as we can.
Yes, and make as many people as we can smile from ear to ear!
