HATSUNE MIKU: COLORFUL STAGE!

Phoenix Wonderland

Wonder Stage

Tsukasa

Okay so... Give me a moment to make sense of everything you just said. You perform at this stage?

Emu

Yup☆

Tsukasa

And I didn't pass the audition, but you invited me to join you here as a special favor?

Emu

Yup yup☆

Tsukasa

Meaning... I'm going to be working here at this dilapidated stage?!

Emu

It's not dilapidated! It has a stylish color scheme!

Tsukasa

You do realize it's not paint, it's rust, right?!

Tsukasa

But why has it been left in this state to begin with? All the other park attractions are either new or renovated and I heard they were building a brand new stage.

Mascot

The original plan was to renovate the entire park, demolishing old stages and building new ones.

Mascot

But right now, the construction of a new stage here has been put on hold.

Tsukasa

Why? And if it's going to be demolished, does it mean it's closed for now?

Emu

No, we're still doing shows! Today was Fish World Show! I played the sunfish!

Emu

There was no audience, though!

Tsukasa

What's the point then?!

Emu

But with you here, we're going to draw in crowds again! I feel it!

Tsukasa

Sigh... Now listen. I have ambitions, you know!

Emu

Oh?

Tsukasa

When I was little, I was taken to see a musical. The lead was an amazing actor.

Tsukasa

I was bedazzled! My heart was stolen! I had witnessed a true star!

Tsukasa

After that event, my mind was made up. I decided to become an illustrious star myself!

Tsukasa

But for that to happen, I must make my debut as part of a major troupe, performing in front of a great audience!

Emu

You know, there's a special trap door on the stage you can spring out of! Do you want to try it out?

Tsukasa

Were you even listening to anything I said?!

Emu

I heard lots about you at the audition!

Emu

You promised incredible shows!

Emu

That really spoke to me! I just KNEW you were the person I needed to make this stage great again!

Tsukasa

Ah, so you've been smitten with me ever since the audition? Hehe, I see. So that's how it is.

Emu

What are you writing in your notepad?

Tsukasa

I'll do this for you as a special favor. Tsu...ka...sa... Ten...ma. There, that turned out nicely.

Emu

Wow! Your writing's so cool! Is this for me? Thanks!

Tsukasa

Hahaha. Keep it safe. One day this autograph will be worth a fortune! Well then, farewell, my strange fan.

Tsukasa

Gwah!

Emu

Don't go! Let's do shows together! I promise it'll be fun!

Tsukasa

Let go of my collar, I can't...breathe!

Emu

Pleeease? Don't leave! You promised great shows!

Tsukasa

Argh... I can't...speak... Uh... Ugh... *wheeze*!

Emu

You prooomiiisseddd!

Tsukasa

If you're so keen on being in shows, just join a theater troupe!

Tsukasa

Then you can perform on proper stages, not forsaken ruins like this one!

Emu

No! It has to be here!

Emu

I made a promise! I said I'd fill all audience seats!

Tsukasa

Why'd you do that...

Emu

I want to perform here at this stage and make lots of people smile! So, please help me... Oh?

Tsukasa

Why did you stop all of a sudden?

Emu

The projector switched on all by itself... Is it broken?

Miku

<Hello everyone♪>

Miku

<An exciting show is about to begin♪ Are you ready?>

Tsukasa

That's a Hatsune Miku hologram. I didn't know she was this park's mascot character.

Emu

She isn't. Our mascot is Phenny the Phoenix Penguin.

Tsukasa

Then what is this?

Miku

<It seems everyone's ready to start! Allow me to take you on a fun-filled adventure in a wonderful SEKAI!>

Emu

She disappeared! What was that about?

Tsukasa

How would I know?

Tsukasa

Sigh... This day's just been one thing after another. I don't have the energy for this.

Tsukasa

No offense, but I'm going to phone HR and officially resign.

Emu

Whaaat?! No, please, listen—

Tsukasa

I've listened enough! Where did I save that number...

Tsukasa

What's this? It says Untitled?

Emu

What's that? A song?

Tsukasa

Hey, give me some space!

Emu

I wanna hear it♪ Tap!

Tsukasa

Argh! Hands off my phone! What if it's one of those scams where they lock your phone with a virus if you don't pay up or something?!

Tsukasa

What the heck? My phone's flashing! Don't tell me it really was some scammer's virus?!

Emu

Eek! I can't see!

???

Tsukasa

What was that... Huh, what's this? Where am I?!

Tsukasa

How did I get here? I can't see Emu anywhere either.

???

.....

Tsukasa

Uh... I know you're there. Show yourself!

???

It's Mikudayo☆

Tsukasa

Aaaaaaaargh! Wh-What on earth?!
