*Sigh*
How long has it been since we last cried so much?
We should cool our faces off when we get home if we don't want them to swell up tomorrow.
Yes...
But I'm glad...
The four of us get to keep doing shows together.
Yes.
I'm also really glad.
Hey, don't you have more to say than just that...?
I'm listening. I wasn't trying to be curt.
Though, I was also thinking about something else.
Something else...?
Hehe. About our show, of course.
The anniversary show we'll be doing for Phoenix Wonderland will be our last as members of its cast.
You really are a show maniac, huh?
Anyway, lemme guess, you just came up with an interesting idea for a stunt?
No, actually... I was just thinking that we could change the ending slightly.
After all, it's supposed to be about us.
Yeah, true.
So, what did you have...?
Hm? A message...?
Oh, it's from Tsukasa.
“Can we meet a little earlier than usual tomorrow?”
I don't mind...
But what could this be about?
Ah, thank you all for coming!
Geez... How are you able to shout like that so early in the morning?
Nene! Are you still feeling sleepy?!
Huh...?! Emu, why are you copying him?!
Because it looked like fun!!!
Hey, I wasn't finished speaking!!!
So, Tsukasa!!!
Why did you ask us to gather so early?!
Ugh...! Stop being so obnoxious, you guys!!!
Ahem.
Now, as for why we're here.
It's about “The Traveling Troupe”, the show we'll be doing for the anniversary show. I was thinking that we could change the ending a little.
What?!
Oh...
Hey, Rui...
This is perfect.
I was also thinking yesterday about making the same suggestion.
Ah, I should expect no less from our director! I take it you also felt somewhat unsure about how it currently ends?
You mean the line, “And they made shows together forever after”...?
Yes. As things stand, that ending is not entirely inaccurate.
But I feel that there's a happy ending out there which reflects us better.
Like the one from the show that MEIKO and the others did for us.
Oh...!
Also, I was thinking...
This show is going to be the last one we do as cast members of Phoenix Wonderland.
Emu's brothers also mentioned that they'll announce us leaving to become freelancers beforehand...
So what if we changed things around a little to make it sound more like, “We'll be back bigger and better than before!” You know, for everyone there to see us...?
Oh, that's an amazing idea!
I was actually a little worried that some of the visitors would be sad to hear that they won't get to see us do shows anymore.
But if we can tell them that we'll be back...!
Then, I believe we're in agreement.
Let's come up with a new happy ending for “The Traveling Troupe”.
Yeah!
Okay!
