Yes, the countdown here refers to Kaede's christmas card, where there was a countdown that interrupted her dialogue as she was about to deliver her e-pun-ymous pun. (post #2556606)
Here she stopped the countdown, but the twist is instead of launching a pun, she sincerely thanked the Producer (while still doing a stealth pun)
The original pun used Tanoshinde(happily) and Kurushinde(struggling) to connect with Shinderera(Cinderella).
I tried to translate it to Scenery and Scene-derella, as the main topic of this strip is the beautiful scenery that the Cinderellas sees when they climb their path.
Thank you very much, Producer.Such a mystical place.... you said?
For me, it is just a familiar local scenery... FuFu~♪

劇場第929『カウンター再び』
Theater Episode 929 - Countdown once again—During my time as an idol... I have recalled the scenery of this slope countless times.I am now sure... Those stairs were this scenery here that I love so much...!We crossed a red bridge a while ago, didn't we?
As that was a boundary between the world of man and the realm of gods, it is only natural that this place has a mystical atmosphere... if I do say so myself.If sometimes you climb while struggling for breath against the steepness of the hill, The stairs that Scene-derella climbed...As I kept climbing this long slope, set apart from the world of man, I always wondered... about the place I am going to.You can also sometimes climb with your breath taken away by the enjoyment of dreamlike scenery...
