''If the player waits for a set amount of time before accepting Side Story:''


{|class="sf" style="margin-left:0;"
|Touma: let's go watch the raiga show. i'll be at central city street in shibuya. just come get me when you're ready
|}


''>Itsuki speaks to Touma.''


'''Touma:''' Oh, there you are! Let's go watch the Raiga show! I've been wanting you to see it too!


''The player is given two choices on how to respond:''
*''Yes''
*''No''


''If the player chooses "no":''


'''Itsuki:''' I've got something to take care of. Sorry.

'''Touma:''' Oh, is that so? Then you'd better take care of it quick. The show's gonna start soon.


''>Conversation ends, Side Story unaccepted.''


''If the player chooses "yes":''


'''Itsuki:''' Sure.

'''Touma:''' That's the spirit! All right, let's head there right away! It's gonna be at the Toubo Department Store in Ikebukuro.


''>Touma leaves. He sends you a text. The conversation is as follows:''


{|class="sf" style="margin-left:0;"
|Touma: i'm at toubo department store in ikebukuro! you better come!

Touma: '''sends a picture of a masked man with the words "Here I Go!" written on it'''
|}


''>After this, travel to Toubo Rooftop and speak to Touma.''


'''Touma:''' Yo, Itsuki! The show's about to start! Let's hurry up and go see Raiga!

'''Itsuki:''' It's a bit late to ask this now, but what's Raiga?

'''Touma:''' I told you so much about it and you don't remember!? He's a hero, man! A live-action-series hero that I can't love enough!

'''Itsuki:''' Uh-huh.

'''Touma:''' There's gonna be an audition for the TV series soon, not just one of these live shows. I gotta watch this to get hyped.

'''Itsuki:''' You seem pumped up.

'''Touma:''' Of course I am! The whole reason why I got into this industry is to become a hero! Clad with lightning's might, the fangs of justice shall crush the nefarious Valhalla Pharmaceuticals! I am-

'''Crowd:''' Yaaaaaaaaay!

'''Itsuki:''' Oh, looks like it's starting.

'''Touma:''' ... R-Right.


''>The camera shifts to the stage. Two masked men appear to be a stand-off; one has a syringe for an arm, and the other one is dressed up in a typical superhero get-up.''

''Editor's note: The mask the syringe-wielder is wearing is identical to the face of a Risen--an enemy faction from Fire Emblem: Awakening.''


'''Raiga:''' Clad with lightning's might, the fangs of justice shall crush the nefarious Valhalla Pharmaceuticals! I am! Masqueraider... Raiga!

'''Crowd:''' Yaaaaaaaaay!

'''Raiga:''' Lightning Systems, all green! ... Boost up! Take this! Raiga Rush!


''>Raiga punches his opponent, sending him off his feet and landing on his back.''


'''Genome Monster:''' Gwaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

'''Raiga:''' Thanks to everyone's cheers, I was able to defeat the Genome Monster! Thank you!

'''Crowd:''' All right!


''>The show finishes.''


'''Touma:''' Oh man! Raiga is so awesome! Don't you think so, Itsuki!?


''The player is given three chooses on how to respond:''
*''It was... Yeah.''
*''It was good.''
*''I don't think so.''


''If the player chooses option 1:''


???


''If the player chooses option 2:''


'''Itsuki:''' It was good. No wonder you're so into it.

'''Touma:''' Right? Right!? Wasn't it worth coming to see!? It was all... Masqueraider Raiga!

'''Boy:''' ... Excuse me. You're in the way.


''>A boy appears next to Touma''


'''Boy:''' ... That's so dumb. Aren't you an adult?

'''Touma:''' The hell'd you say!? ... Wait. Who're you?

'''Boy:''' Does that really matter? Don't you feel dumb for getting all into this fake show?

'''Touma:''' Then why'd you come see it? Didn't you like the show too?

'''Boy:''' Not one bit. I'm just here to kill time. Besides, all that stuff about friendship and justice and victory is irritating... Those things are fake and only exist in made-up stories.

'''Touma:''' Wha-

'''Boy:'' There's no way heroes even exist. Isn't it time you grew up?

'''Touma:''' ... ... Hey, why're you so gloomy? I'd be happy to listen if you wanna talk about-

'''Boy:''' Do I look like I care? It doesn't involve you anyway. ... I'm going.


''>The boy attempts to walk away.''


'''Touma:''' ... H-Hey! Then make sure you tune into the show next time! I'll be the new hero on it!

'''Boy:''' ... Whatever.


''>The boy walks away.''


'''Touma:''' ...


''The player is given two choices on how to respond:''
*''Is that really okay?''
*''Why the lie?''


''If the player chooses option 1:''


'''Itsuki:''' IS that really okay? Auditions haven't even started yet, right? Why the lie?

'''Touma:''' I just couldn't leave him be when I saw that loneliness on his face... Making children smile... that's what heroes do. Still... I can't believe I blurted out something so ridiculous.

'''Itsuki:''' Then you just need to get that part, no matter what.

'''Touma:''' Yeah! I'll make it happen! So, I've got a favor to ask... Will you come train with me? I still dunno about the sharpness of my moves for action scenes. I wanna brush up on them before the audition.

'''Itsuki:''' I suppose I should. I can't let you become a liar after all, Touma.

'''Touma:''' I owe you one, Itsuki! I'll be sure to think of a training regimen.


''>Touma leaves. As Itsuki is about to leave the rooftop, Touma sends him a message. The conversation is as follows:''


{|class="sf" style="margin-left:0;"
|Touma: now about my training plan... i'm thinking we should hit the idolapshere in daitama

Itsuki: Okay.

Touma: remember those monsters called blobs? i feel like my action skills will get better if i fight a ton of those

Touma: '''sends a picture of a Blob'''

Itsuki: Feel like?

Touma: let's see... my goal is to defeat 5 of them!

Touma: c'mon, don't sweat to details! what's important is how we approach this!

Touma: '''sends a picture of a masked man with the words "Here I Go!" written on it'''
|}


''>Itsuki travels to Illusory Daitama. There, he meets Touma.''


'''Touma:''' You made it. All right, let's get started at once.

'''Cain:''' I still cannot grasp the reason behind this fixation on becoming a "hero." Is a her not defined by their actions? Simply striving to become one seems... odd.

'''Touma:''' Just watch me. I'll show you what a true hero's passion is like!

'''Cain:''' Well, if you wish to train, I suppose I have no reason to object.

'''Touma:''' Good! Let's do this, Cain!


''>After the conversation, Tiki sends a text. The conversation is as follows:''


{|class="sf" style="margin-left:0;"
|Tiki: Big brother, you're training with Touma?

Tiki: He asked me to keep track of whenever he defeats a Blob.

Tiki: I'll let you know through Topic, but Touma wanted to "train his heroism" by beating at least 5. I wonder if he'll be okay...

Tiki: Big brother, please back Touma up so he doesn't do anything reckless!
|}


''>Once five Blobs have been defeated, Itsuki will start a conversation with Touma.''


'''Itsuki:''' How's that, Touma? I think we've defeated quite a few enemies.

'''Touma:''' Yeah! I think I've figured it out! Sharp moves in an action scene involve fast footwork... timing... proper breathing! And- Going all in!


''>Touma's inspiration unlocks a new Perfoma: Mind of a Hero.''


'''Cain's Voice:''' *Gasp* This radiance...!

'''Touma:''' Hehe! I've got this down now! Thanks, guys!


''>Once the conversation ends, Itsuki sends a text to Tiki. The conversation is as follows:''


{|class="sf" style="margin-left:0;"
|Itsuki: Tiki, Touma got his Perfoma.

Tiki: Really? Good job!

Touma: thanks tiki!

Tiki: Then let's perform a Radiant Unity! Once you come to the Bloom Palace, we can start it right away!

Tiki: '''sends a picture of a winking Tiki with the words "OK♪" on it'''
|}


''>A conversation will trigger once Touma has learnt "Doorsof Rampage". Radiant Skill''


'''Cain:''' The audition has finally come...

'''Touma''' Oh man, I'm getting nervous...

'''Cain:''' IF you succeed, you shall be able to take your place on this... television business as a hero.

'''Touma:''' Yeah! Just watch me! I'll teach you what a hero's passion is!

'''Cain:''' I look forward to it. Now, Touma--go, and show them the fruits of your training in full!

'''Touma:''' Right! Make sure you cheer me on!


''>The scene changes to Toubo Rooftop, where the audition is based. Touma is seen on stage, dressed up.''


'''Crowd:''' Yaaaaaaaaay!

'''Bull Genome:''' Hraaaaaaaagh!


''>The Genome rushes towards Raiga, readying an attack.''


'''Raiga:''' Too slow!


''>Raiga dodges the Genome's attack.''


'''Bull Genome:''' Whaaat!? He dodged my Raging Stampede!?

'''Raiga:''' Lightning Systems, all green! ... Full boost! Roar! Raiga Kiiiiiick!


''>Raiga jumps into the air and kicks the Genome. The screen turns black.''


'''Bull Genome:''' Graaaaaaaaagh! *Gasp* Uh, oh no! ... ACK!


''>The screen goes back into colour, showing an unmasked Touma on the floor, off the stage.''


'''Crowd:''' Ahahahahaha!


''>The scene changes to a dressing room. Itsuki and Touma are having a conversation.''


'''Itsuki:''' That was quite a show... at least, your defeat was.

'''Touma:''' Right!? Wasn't it awesome!? Wasn't it so awesome!? Did you catch it? I sure hope you did. The way that I reeled back when I got hit with the Raiga Kick! If there was a national reeling-back competition, that one I did today would've been in the top four! Easy!

''Itsuki:''' Your headpiece came off though.

'''Touma:''' *Sigh* I didn't get the part for the TV show and got this gig instead... But to think it'd be the villain... ahaha...

'''Itsuki:''' Didn't that director introduce you to this job though? He said he wanted you to get more experience. I don't think you should be so bummed out about it.

'''Touma:''' But even so... But even so!


''The player is given two choices on how to respond:''
*''Is it about that kid?''
*''Liar, liar, pants on fire.''


''If the player chooses option 1:''


???


''If the player chooses option 2:''


'''Itsuki:''' Liar, liar, pants on fire.

'''Touma:''' Urk! That's... well... The next time I see that kid, I'll just have to honestly apologize to him...

'''Cain's Voice:''' Life rarely happens the way we desire. You must use this experience as impetus to push yourself to greater heights.

'''Touma:''' Y-You're right! Yeah! My legend as a hero is just beginning!

'''Cain's Voice:''' That's the spirit, Touma. And one day, show me what a true "hero's passion" is like.

'''Touma:''' Of course!


''Job complete!''
