Hey! I'm here!
Alright, that makes everyone.
Let's get started with practice.
Wait, there's a video I want to show you guys first! One of my friends from class told me about it...!
Oh, is that...?
That's... That's... Nooo! That's the show I was supposed to be a part of!
Keep it down...
Oh, yeah. You were supposed to be an extra for a wedding, right, Tsukasa?
I was, but something unfortunate happened. I had a friend of mine go in my place...
Something unfortunate?
I had food poisoning.
So I asked Aoyagi to replace me.
Wait, Aoyagi as in the one from my class...?
Shinonome came to help as well. Even one of the hall monitors joined in at the last minute.
Oh, maybe they're in the video too!
What do they look like?
Lemme see... No, I don't think they're in this shot.
That's too bad...
But I didn't know that they were your friends, Nene!
Friends? I mean, we've talked a little before...
I already thanked them when we were at school, but I still need to pay them back someday!
Oh, but you've known Aoyagi for a while now, right, Tsukasa?
Aoyagi seems to be one of Tsukasa's biggest fans. I'm curious how he ended up having to take his place for this.
He did very well for himself too. His hard-working attitude was a real lifesaver.
A lifesaver? What do you mean?
Tsukasa actually asked me to go check on him and the overall situation.
I remember from the night festival that he was quite the singer, but then I learned that he didn't have any acting experience.
More things came up after that and I ended up having to direct the whole performance...
What?! You're saying that you did all this?!
Yes. Well, the groundwork was already laid out. All I did was make a few adjustments.
I didn't know that! Did you come up with the bang-zoom-boom part in the end too, Rui?
Correct! Well done, Emu!
Yay☆ I got it right♪
Hold on...
They were okay with all of that?
As you can see, everything was a big success. I could not ask for a happier crowd...
Yeah, I got that much, but that's not what I'm talking about...
What I mean is, Rui...
You haven't done anything like this with other people in a really long time, right...?
...
I appreciate your concern.
I know full well that not all of my ideas will pan out. I understand that they're not for everyone and some even openly disagreed with me.
However...
I still don't like the way you do things, Kamishiro...
But I know that feeling of wanting to make something happen no matter what.
When everyone realized that we were doing it all for the bride and the groom, they became much more understanding and gave it their best.
I learned that it's important to have a common goal to work towards despite any differences we may have.
Okay...
Then good for you, Rui.
Thank you.
Nonetheless, I still have much to learn, and my mistakes from then will surely help us later on.
Heh. Don't get so down now.
We're Wonderlands×Showtime! We're the ones that give your shows 20000%!
Oh, another unprovable claim? That value's grown since last time as well, no?
That's because we have Emu and Nene now! Of course it's gone up!
Hehe. Yes, I see.
Rui, just tell us what you want us to do and we'll do it☆
I'm don't have superpowers like these two, so don't forget to go easy on me, okay?
I will. Thank you, everyone.
(I couldn't ask for more...)
(I have to keep doing everything I can as a director too.)
