Part 2, Episode 4: Connect the World

---

Several days after Yuuki and the others confronted Little Ueki...

Scene: The amphitheater in Muusa.

Kyaru
Ah, ahh. Test, test. Karin, can you hear me?

Karin
Yes, copy from the Guild Management Bureau. I hear you loud and clear, members of Gourmet Palace.

Kyaru
Okay. And how are we doing with Kaon?

Maho
Great! We can hear you perfectly over here, too!

Kyaru
All right, all right... The other locations seem fine, too. I wasn't sure if we'd be able to pull off getting 10 different places all linked up with communication magic at once... But it looks like we've managed.

Uzuki
Wow! Kyaru, you're amazing!

Mio
Just like how you're talking to the people from the Guild Management Bureau right now... We should also be able to transmit the sound of our concert to them. Our songs will be able to reach people in towns all over!

Rin
I had no idea such a thing was possible... But doesn't this use up a lot of magic? Kyaru, will you be okay?

Kyaru
No problem, no problem. I can also get Yuuki to strengthen me if I need it.

Mio
Yuuki, thank you, too!

Yuuki
1. "You're welcome."

Uzuki
Our voices won't just reach the Guild Management Office, but all of these girls that you know, too. We're prepared to reach people in all kinds of towns.

Mio
If you weren't so popular, we wouldn't have been able to set this up! You're seriously amazing.

Rin
A human maid, an elf magician, a demon teacher, a princess of a beast tribe, a master detective, and even a vampire... I was a bit surprised to hear of all of these girls.

Kokkoro
... Indeed. Even I, who should already be familiar with all of your friendships with these people, found it rather surprising, Master.

Uzuki
Ahahaha...

Kokkoro
Through our connection with Lady Karin of the Guild Management Bureau, we've managed to have publicity materials distributed to each of the various towns.

Pecorine
"A First Concert to Remember from the Champions of Muusa's Auditions!" That was what they said!

Pecorine
Not to mention, the simultaneous broadcast of the songs to each town makes it the world's first "Live Tune-in!" That'll definitely get people really fired up!

Uzuki
T-That sounds incredible, whatever it is...!

Rin
We've come this far... We've got to rise to the occasion.

Judge
Hello, all of you.

Mio
Ah, the old woman judge!?

Judge
I don't quite understand the situation, but... You're putting on a concert, are you?

Judge
In that case, use this record. It's a new song written specifically for you, as winners of the audition.

Uzuki
Thank you very much, ma'am!

Rin
Yes... It must be a good song.

Judge
... I'm counting on you, all of you. This has turned into quite the panic...

Judge
Despite everything, I simply can't bring myself to think of Little Tsubomi... or should I say, Little Ueki, as an evil being.

Uzuki
Please leave it to us, ma'am! We'll do something about Little Ueki!

Kyaru
No, wait, you say it isn't evil, but... Wasn't it controlling my mind!?

Kokkoro
Master. About Little Ueki... Even now, it is still active, releasing both pollen and little bulbs.

Kyaru
If it means to cause us trouble, then we'll have to use our attacks to quiet it down. With how massive and tough it is, we won't be able to cut it down easily.

Pecorine
We'll have to give that naughty Little Ueki a spanking!

Yuuki
1. "We'll calm down Little Ueki..."

Pinya Colata
Pinya! Pinya nyanya!

Yuuki
1. "Everyone, do your best at your lessons!"

Three
Yeah!

Later, the day of the concert...

Scene: A dressing room backstage in Muusa.

Kokkoro
Everyone... It's nearly time for the performance.

Pecorine
Tons of guests have gathered in front of the stage!

Kyaru
The communication spell for the "Live Tune-in" is all prepared, too. Folks with spare time are gathering in other town plazas as we speak!

Uzuki
Got it! Thank you very much.

Mio
Wow, so that many people are going to hear us sing, huh! Ooh... I'm getting nervous!

Rin
Mio, I can see how much you're looking forward to it right on your face.

Mio
Hee hee, so I've been found out?

Uzuki
I am, too! I'm looking forward to this a lot!

Uzuki
... Ha ha.

Rin
...? Uzuki?

Mio
Shimamu? What's up?

Uzuki
Ah, um... Hee hee. It's just a little weird.

Kokkoro
What is, Lady Uzuki?

Uzuki
Well, not long ago, we were super embarrassed just singing in front of the people from that village.

Uzuki
But now... With an amphitheater full of guests, and even more guests listening to us from faraway towns... It's strange just how much excited I am for it.

Rin
Right. But... I feel like, at some point in the past, we've sung for even bigger crowds.

Mio
Ha ha! That must mean we were really some amazing idols!

Pecorine
Ha ha! You definitely must've been!

Pinya Colata
Pinya!

Rin
Ah, Pinya. Thank you for seeing our lessons through to the end.

Mio
Yeah, yeah! We never would've made it without Pinya and Yuuki!

Yuuki
1. "You're welcome."

Uzuki
Pecorine, Kokkoro, and Kyaru, thank you for everything you've done for us up until now!

Kokkoro
There is no need for thanks. I was happy to lend you my strength.

Pecorine
Assuming this concert is a success, I'm a bit sad that I won't be able to hear you sing anymore, though...

Rin
Ha ha. But you've already gotten to hear us sing plenty during our practice.

Kyaru
With how much work we've done to prepare for this moment, it wouldn't do for you all to get nervous and blow it during the real thing, right?

Mio
We'll be A-OK! Leave it to us!

Uzuki
Oh, that's right. Pinya Colata, do you have any advice for what we should do before we step out on that giant stage?

Pinya Colata
Pinya...

Yuuki
1. "If I had to say one thing..."

Pinya Colata
Pipinya, pinya nyaa!

Yuuki
1. "Try jumping up and down while shouting your favorite foods."

Rin
Huh? What's that for...

Mio
Well, hey, it sounds fun, Shiburin.

Uzuki
Yeah, it does! Lately, thanks to all we've learned about cooking from Gourmet Palace, we've been able to eat all kinds of tasty food!

Rin
Hmm. Then, what'll we go with? Thinking of what we've been eating lately...

Mio
Like Griffon wings...

Rin
Or Kirabee larvae...

Uzuki
Or slime jelly bowls...?

Kyaru
Hold up! If you shout about that kind of gross stuff as you're going up on stage, won't that doom the concert?

Uzuki
Right! This is supposed to be about our favorite foods.

Pecorine
My favorite food is onigiri! An onigiri made with steaming hot right is the best! Drool...

Mio
Hmm. Favorite foods, favorite foods...

Rin
Hm... Like chocolate...

Uzuki
Or ham-wrapped melon...

Mio
Or fried chicken? ... Ah.

Rin
Ah...

Uzuki
Ah...

Three
Ahhhh!

Kokkoro
E-Everyone? What's happening?

Uzuki
Ah, ahaha! Ahahaha!

Rin
Wow...! I really couldn't remember, to the point of being that much at a loss... ha ha!

Mio
To think that this was how we'd remember these things about ourselves! Ahaha, so weird!

Pecorine
Ehhh!? Everyone from New Generations, you're saying that your memories are coming back at the last minute!?

Kyaru
R-Really!? But it's almost time for the concert -- will you be able to sing like this?

Uzuki
Yes, don't worry about a thing!

Rin
And... Keep your eyes on us, everyone from Gourmet Palace.

Mio
Our... final performance in this world!

Uzuki
Here we go!

Begin animated cutscene.

Rin
That's right! I finally remember!

Mio
The three of us...

Uzuki
Started off as normal girls...

Rin
And became idols...

Uzuki
And became New Generations...

Three
And now!

Uzuki
The three of us are...

Three
Cinderella Girls!
