Chapter Text
"Ko-ha-ne―!" I scream at my friend as soon as I see her. I run towards her and leap into a hug.
"G-Good afternoon, Emu..!" She says as she hugs me back.
I’m so happy! The off-campus activity I suggested to my school was accepted!
“Kohane! Would you like to join my acting troupe in Phoenix Wonderland! It’d be super duper cool of you!”
”Eh?”
”I really like your singing voice and you’d make an amazing performer!”
”O-Oh! Um, sure!”
”Let’s go! Follow me!”
”Emu, wait up!”

“Good evening, I’m a second-year student, Asahina Mafuyu. I’ll be the leader of this off-campus activity team. Lovely to see you both.” The purple haired girl says.
”Hi☆“ Emu smiles, “I’m Otori Emu! This is my friend Azusawa Kohane!”
”H-Hello! I’m Azusawa Kohane.”
“Nice to meet you, Azusawa and Otori.” Asahina-senpai chuckles.
”Now, let’s design some costumes!” Emu yells.
”Emu, wait—“
”Good idea, Otori. After our meeting today, I would like you both to design your outfits for our Troupe.” She says with a smile, Emu looks terrified.
”Y-Yeah! Let’s end for today and meet tomorrow with designs!”
”Agreed, I’ll cut this meeting short. Here is my phone number so we may discuss this on a later time.”
”Okay, good night Kohane and Asahina-senpai!” Emu yells as she runs off.
”R-Right! Have a lovely evening, Asahina..!” I wave to her as I leave Phoenix Wonderland.

I sit on the floor of my room, I listen to music and color the concept for my costume.
My goal with this Troupe is to make as many people smile as I can! I know Kohane can make people smile with the sound of her voice! And Asahina-senpai…
Asahina Mafuyu is a smart person and super cool, but her smiles are never real…
I want to make her smile too!
I’ll make as many people smile as I can, that’s a promise!
Eh? My music stopped…
I check my music app and find an untitled song. Out of curiosity, I press play and I am transported to the most amazing place I’ve ever seen..!
