When this Side Story is available, you will receive the following Topic from Barry:
| Barry: Itsuki, I need you to come to the lesson studio! Got something I need to discuss with you. You got that!?
Barry: |
Uzume Lesson Studio
Outside the studio:
Barry: Hey, Itsuki! You better help out with the girls' training from hell!
The player is given two options on how to respond:
- Yes
- No
If the player chooses "no":
Itsuki: I just remembered something I need to do.
Barry: What!? Are you running away, Itsuki!?
If the player chooses "yes":
Itsuki: All right...
Inside the studio:
Barry: All right... today I'm gonna put you ladies through hell!
Tsubasa: Eep!
Eleonora: What brought this on all of a sudden? And more importantly, why me and Tsubasa?
Maiko's Voice: About that...
Maiko: It's because you two are going to form an idol duo!
Tsubasa & Eleonora: Huuuh!?
Maiko: After all, we have two cute and spunky high-school girls. Wouldn't it be a waste to let them play hooky all day?
Eleonora: We're not playing around!
Maiko: Silliness aside, I thought you two would make a great team. Really.
Eleonora: ...
Tsubasa: ...I-I'll do it, ma'am! This idol duo... Let's make it happen!
Maiko: Good. That's what I like to hear. How about you, Ellie?
Eleonora: I'll do it. ...I don't want to lose to Tsubasa.
Maiko: Then it's settled! I have high hopes for you two. Well then, Barry... they're all yours!
Barry: Acknowledged. Eleonora... Tsubasa. Welcome to Barry's Boot Camp.
Eleonora: Boot camp...?
Barry: Cut the chitchat, ya phony-ass Hollywood wannabe!
Eleonora: W-Wannabe!?
Barry: Ya'll better shut up and get ready for some marine corps-style training from hell! Now, hurry up and go warm up!
Tsubasa: Warm up... how exactly?
Barry: First, you must be able to synchronize with your partner. It's important to know you can trust your back to her. Let me se... A light trip tot he Idolasphere will do nicely.
Itsuki: Um... what about me?
Barry: You're going too, rookie! Why'd you think I called you here!? Huh!? You're dismissed. I'll send the specifics of your training over Topic.
Upon leaving the studio, you receive an urgent Topic from Barry:
| Barry: FELLOW NEW RECRUITS! I WILL NOW HAVE YOU GO TO THE IDOLASPHERE AT DAITOU TV STATION!
Barry: TEN SESSIONS! Barry: ELEONORA AND TSUBASA MUST PULL OFF TEN SESSIONS! Barry: THAT'S ONE-ZERO. YOU GOT THAT!? DO NOT RETURN UNTIL YOU DO EVERY LAST ONE. GOOD LUCK! Barry: |

Itsuki: Yeah.
Eleonora: Trynot to slow me down.

I'LL BE COUNTING ELEONORA'S AND TSUBASA'S SESSIONS! Barry: KEEP AN EYE ON THOSE TWO SO THEY DON'T SLACK OFF! Itsuki: Counting? Are you watching us from somewhere, Barry? Barry: WHEN ONE HAS A GOOD GRASP ON NEW RECRUITS' SKILLS, ONE CAN FOLLOW THEM MENTALLY. Barry; NOW ENOUGH QUESTIONS AND HURRY UP WITH THE TRAINING! |

Uzume Lesson Studio
Talking to Barry outside the studio:
Barry: You're late! A member of the marine corps must always be on time! Stop standin' around and get inside!
Inside the studio:
Barry: All right! Eleonora! Tsubasa! Put your moves together! Show me the results of your hellish training!
Eleonora: ...Let's do this, Tsubasa!
Tsubasa: ...Yeah!
Scenes of Eleonora and Tsubasa doing the same poses with Barry and Itsuki being impressed show up on the screen.
Eleonora and Tsubasa successfully completed Barry's training from hell...
And the day for their duo to debut came...
A cinema appears for Eleonora and Tsubasa's duo concert.
Barry: Eleonora, Tsubasa. You've worked hard for this. Congratulations.
Tsubasa: Thanks!
Elenora: I usually think of you being pretty... meh... but you can be pretty cool too sometimes, Barry.
Barry: Hah hah hah! I need no praise from some disappointing 3D girl with a 2D chest! I'd rather you show your sincerity by getting me a second-season box set of "Dia Witch Iroha." Signed, of course!
Eleonora: Huh... On second thought, I take back what I said.
Tsubasa: Ahaha...
The screen goes blank and then Barry shows up on the screen.
Barry: After all, nothing beats Dia Witch! Not even idols! 2D for life! Yeeeeeeaaaaaah!
