Part 2, Ending: Great Journey
Translation notes
[1] Worth noting here that the three girls' names are written using the proper kanji, rather than in katakana as they would be in the "game world."
Scene: The amphitheater in Muusa.
The concert of New Generations was carried to each town by way of communications magic, igniting fires of passion all across the continent.
And then... The Cinderella Girls vanished into the light.
Pecorine
... They're gone, huh.
Kokkoro
They're gone. Even Pinya Colata.
Kyaru
Right. Well, it's good that they've made it home okay, right?
Pecorine
Hey! You could be a little more solemn, Kyaru!
Kyaru
Well, I mean... It's not like I don't miss them. But...
Kyaru
This request turned out to be really profitable, right!?
Pecorine
Huh? Did it?
Kyaru
Well, look! All the stuff that they left behind, plus the profits from the concert, are all ours now! Right!?
Kokkoro
Lady Kyaru... You should not be so wretched. The members of New Generations entrusted this money to us with certain instructions.
Pecorine
We've already donated this money to be used for the reconstruction of Muusa, along with the prize pool for next year's New Idol Auditions!
Kyaru
Whaaaat!? But we worked so hard, and I got totally humiliated... This means we're getting nothing for our work again!!
Pecorine
But these recordings of New Generations' songs are incredibly important treasures, aren't they?
Kokkoro
... Indeed. Lady Kyaru... If you want the prize money, then all you need to do is emerge victorious in next year's New Idol Auditions.
Kyaru
Huh!?
Pecorine
Ah, I understand! Kyaru, if you don't feel confident about auditioning solo, then... We'll form a unit with you!
Kokkoro
"Kyaru kyaruuun!" ... is what I'll say.
Kyaru
Cut that out, stupiiiid!
Scene: New Generations' studio in the real world.
Uzuki
... Zzz, zzz... [1]
Mio
... Mmm, zzz...
Rin
... Oh, oh...?
Rin
Ah!
Mio
Huh? ... This is... the dressing room?
Rin
... We're in our school uniforms...
Uzuki
Pinya Colata isn't moving... And Little Ueki is tiny...?
Mio
... Shimamu?
Uzuki
Ah! Um... I guess I had a weird dream...
Rin
... A dream?
Uzuki
It was like I was in a fantasy world. I was adventuring, eating food, and doing concerts in the dream...
Mio
Eh!? Shimamu, you too!?
Rin
Both of you, too...?
Concert Staff
New Generations, it's about time to get ready!
Uzuki
Ahh, that's right! We had a concert soon!
Rin
... Man. Falling asleep at a time like this...
Mio
Maybe we shouldn't have tried playing this promotional game while we were on break!
Concert Staff
Ah. Actually, it looks like the producer was also playing a VR game in the room next door, up until a moment ago.
Rin
Oh, huh...
Mio
Ahah. I bet the producer also dozed off and had a weird dream!
Uzuki
But... It might have been weird, but it was quite interesting, too.
Mio
Yeah... That's true. Feeling my heart pounding, standing in front of those audience members for the first time...
Uzuki
The fun of learning by trial and error together with everyone...
Rin
... Plus, the feeling of being so inexperienced. I feel like I can remember that well.
Mio
Yeah! ... We'd just had a good song written for us, too -- too bad it was just a dream...
Uzuki
... Huh? L-Look at this, you two! This song was just added to today's set list...
Rin
Huh!? Could this be...!
Mio
This is the song from the dream... The one that we won the auditions with!
Rin
But what is it doing here...?
Mio
I thought it was just a dream...
Uzuki
But that dream won't end as only a dream!
