Tsukasa and the others are probably preparing for their final performance right now.

(I've seen them rehearse a number of times already and know the story very well at this point, but I'd really like to witness to their big moment...)

(Still, it'd be irresponsible of me, the troupe leader, to disappear for an entire day.)

Oh, there you are...

Do you know how much time we spent looking for you?!

Luka? MEIKO?

What are you two doing here?

You're seriously asking us that?!

We have to go, now!

What?! W-Wait!

Where are we going?!

Again, seriously?!

We're gonna go catch the final performance of the Little Mermaid☆

Hehe. I actually got to see it yesterday, but I have to say, it was a wonderful show. Would you like to come see it with us, KAITO?

I'd love to, but the plushies are supposed to do their show today...

Don't worry about that!

You've been fired as troupe leader♪

Whaaat?!

Hehe. Just for today.

Oh, here comes the new troupe leader.

Heh heh heh☆

Just for today, I, the great Miku, will be the troupe leader!

Three cheers for Miku!

Hooray♪ Long live the new leader♪

So for today, you've been deposed as troupe leader, KAITO!

Yeah!

Now do you get it?

Your schedule's been cleared up, so let's hurry up and go see the show♪

Miku, all of you... Did you do this for...?

Hehe☆

Because you're always there to help us, KAITO♪

Yeah! That's why we want to give back and make sure you get to have fun for a change too!

I don't know what to say...

Hehe. Now then...

KAITO, shall we?

Let's go☆

Wait, MEIKO, you don't need to yank my arm like that...!

Have fun, you guys♪

Enjoy♪

<There we go.

Wait... Where are we?>

<Oh, this looks like Nene's script.

We must be just off stage.>

(Nonetheless, we should still be able to catch most of their show.)

(I'll need to thank Miku and the others when I get back...)

<Thank you, MEIKO, Luka...

Huh? Where'd they go?>

<MEIKO? Luka? Where are you?>

<Over here!

Tsukasa's phone was stuck in his bag.>

<Same with Emu's.>

<That's a shame. Shall we move over to Nene's phone where KAITO is?>

<Sure.

Please make some room for us, KAITO.>

<Room for all of us...?

Hold on, is that even possible...?>

<Miku, Rin and Len said that they were all able to fit onto Emu's phone, so I don't see why not♪>

<That's them, we're us. Are you sure that we can...?>

<Hi!>

<Ow!>

<Oh, sorry about that!

We should've warned you that we were coming in hot.>

<Th-That's okay...

But it is getting a little cramped...>

<Hello...>

<No, wait! Th-There's no more room!>

<Yes, you're right. Having you sandwiched between us does seem a bit unfair, KAITO.>

<Oh, MEIKO, what if I sat on your lap?>

<L-Luka, wait!

This isn't like when you use my lap as a pillow. If you try sitting on my lap now...>

<Eep!>

<Wah!>

<MEIKO... KAITO... I'm so sorry...>

<Ugh... I tried to warn you!>

<Please, you two... I'm getting crushed...>

<Phew. This is much better.>

<Yes, just in time too. I think the show's about to start.>

(The story about a somewhat introverted Little Mermaid and her extroverted siblings. No two characters are alike, and they're off to a good start...)

<Tsukasa and Emu have been captured.

That means the climax is coming up.>

<Yes. The Little Mermaid tries to save her siblings by drinking the strange potion and transforming into a robot.>

(Hm? But I don't see Robo-Nene standing by...)

N-No, stop!

Don't kick it! This robot's a good guy!

<Huh?>

<What's going on?

Where's all that commotion coming from...?>

Oh no...!

H-Hey...!

<That voice... Nene?!

Could she be in trouble?!>

<She just might be.

Not only that, it's almost Robo-Nene's cue to go out...>

<No! As much as I want to help, I can't move from this spot!>

<Tsukasa and Emu are still on stage too, so that leaves...>

<There's he is! Rui!>

Oh, it's you three. You came to see our show? You could've told us that...

<That can wait. We heard Nene's voice coming from the other side of the stage...>

<We haven't seen Robo-Nene at all either, and she is supposed to go on stage soon.>

Ah, thank you for the warning.

I'll see what's going on right now.

<Thank goodness!

Curtain call! They did it!>

<They really did.>

<And despite the trouble they ran into, they managed to turn a bad situation into an incredibly good one.>

<I know, right?! Nene's ad-libbing was amazing! She really pulled through for them there!>

<Yes, she did. Seeing how much they've all grown makes me so proud.>

<Thank you both for inviting me here today...>

<Actually, Miku's the one you should be thanking♪>

<That's true. She's the one who initially mentioned anything about wanting you to see their show live.>

<I see...>

<I'll make sure to thank her when I get back.>

<Good!>
