Final Chapter

Shibuya Station

A few days later

The player receives an urgent Topic from Maiko:

Maiko: Thanks for the help Itsuki Maiko: No need to hurry back: Why don't you go look around Enter-Kingdom? Maiko: I'm the only one at the office right now anyways. It'll be boring for you, I bet. Maiko: Of course, if you're after some alone time with me, then by all means... <3 The player is given two options on how to respond in the Topic: Yes please. I'll have to decline. If the player chooses option 1: ??? If the player chooses option 2: Itsuki: I'll have to decline. Maiko: I feel like this is starting to become a pattern... (L. O. L.) Maiko: Well, anyway, it looks like Enter-Kingdom is close to its finale. Things are really heating up now. Maiko: I think everyone should be somewhere around the city. Maybe at the events they're performing in?

Shibuya: Central City

Yashiro: Aoi. This is a pleasant surprise.

Itsuki: Hey. Yashiro, should really just be walking around here...? Things might get rough if a fan sees you in front of a concert hall.

Yashiro: A first-class artist like myself is perfectly cable of dampening their aura of fame. In this state, none shall recognize me.

Itsuki: That's pretty amazing...

Yashiro: Hardly. It's a skill that everyone gradually learns to attain, with enough time spent in the industry.

Itsuki: Anyway, what are you actually doing here, Yashiro?

Yashiro: I found myself with some spare time, so I thought I'd indulge in a little walk. Having "free time" is...strange. Until now, I would spend any available second on bettering myself and my abilities. Perhaps it's because I've lost my driving purpose in life... to avenge my father.

Itsuki: Yashiro...

Yashiro: Iconfess, I am at something of a loss. What am I to live for, now?

The player is given two options on how to respond:

• How about your fans?
• You should decide that yourself.

If the player chooses option 1:

???

If the player chooses option 2:

Itsuki: I think you should decide that for yourself. After all, you have plenty of time to come to a decision now.

Yashiro: Heh... I suppose. I shall take my time and consider my new possibilities. You have my thanks, Aoi. I feel as htough talking with you has lifted a weight from my shoulders. I think I'll stroll around the peaceful city for a while longer. I'll see you around.

Daiba Studio

Mamori: Oh, Itsuki.

Itsuki: Hello, Ms. Minamoto.

Mamori: *Giggle* Wow... When you greet me like that, it really makes me feel like I'm a part of this business.

Itsuki: Haha, I guess. By the way, Mamori, weren't you participating in Muse Fes?

Mamori: Yes, I am. My performance won't be for a while, though, so I've been looking around at the other events. All the models in Muse Fes are so pretty... I wonder if I can be like that when I grow up.

The player is given two options on how to respond:

• I'm sure you will.
• You're just fine the way you are.

If the player chooses option 1:

???

If the player chooses option 2:

Itsuki: I think you're already very pretty. You're just fine the way you are.

Mamori: Th-Thank you... But there are a lot more things that I'd like to do when I grow up. Not just singing, or my show. I want to try acting onstage, too. Or modeling! But especially singing! I want to try singing a lot of different songs. Cute songs like Tsubasa's, cool songs like Kiria's, and even more grown up songs like enka...

Itsuki: I'm sure you'll be able to do all kinds of things from now on.

Mamori: Mhm! And it's all thanks to you that I started wanting to do them in the first place. There are so many things a person can do in life---so many possibilities... And you're the one who helped me realize it.

Itsuki: I didn't really do much.

Mamori: You did! You just can't see how amazing it all was. I'm sure everyone else is grateful to you, too.

Itsuki: You think so?

Mamori: I know so. So please, stay with us at Fortuna.

Itsuki: Of course.

Mamori: I'm glad... It's really good to know you'll be there for us. U-Um, well, I think I'll go look around the other events too. G-Goodbye, then!

Cafe Seiren

Tsubasa: Oh---Itsuki?

Itsuki: Tsubasa? What are you doing here?

Tsubasa: Sshhh! Itsuki, quiet down! People might hear you!

Itsuki: Oh, sorry. I guess you're a pretty big name around here these days...

Tsubasa: Sorry... It'd be great if we could just hang out, like we used to do.

Itsuki: Don't worry about it. Besides, I'm happy to see you've gotten that famous.

Tsubasa: Thanks. I know I've said it a lot already, but I wouldn't have gotten this far if you hadn't helped me, Itsuki.

Itsuki: Well, you're the one who put in the effort. All I did was cheer you on.

Tsubasa: Your cheering me on was the most important part to me.

Itsuki: Really, I'm not sure I get it, but as long as you're happy...

Tsubasa: You don't have to get it. I guess that's more like you, anyway. Now that the Shadow Dragon's gone and all the Mirage attacks have stopped, having all this free time is... weird.

Itsuki: I know, right?

Tsubasa: And Enter-Kingdom is almost over, too...

Itsuki: Does it not feel like a challenge anymore?

Tsubasa: *Giggle* Nope! But even after Enter-Kingdom is over... there's going to be a lot of work to do. Itsuki... I want to get even better. At dancing, singing, acting, everything. So... I want you to keep cheering me on, okay?

Itsuki: Of course. I'll always be there for you.

Tsubasa: Oh, geez, it's late. I need to start heading back! I'll see you later, Itsuki!

Daitou TV Station

Eleonora: If it isn't good old Itsuki. Let me guess---You came just to see me?

The player is given two options on how to respond:

• Yeah.
• Not really

If the player chooses option 1:

???

If the player chooses option 2:

Itsuki: Not really. I was just passing by.

Eleonora: Rrrgh... you're SUPPOSED to say "Of course I came to see you!" It doesn't matter if you MEAN it, you knucklebrain!

Itsuki: ...Isn't it supposed to be "knucklehead"?

Eleonora: W-Well, sure! SOME people say it like that. Anyway, it's still going to be a while until the second act, but you better look out for my Hollywood-quality acting!

Itsuki: Got it.

Eleonora: Hm... Tokyo's gotten really peaceful, hasn't it? All that craziness with the Shadow Dragon and the end of the world feels like it was all just some dream.

Itsuki: I know what you mean.

Eleonora: But I'm glad I can really concentrate on what's really important to me. My meteoric rise to stardom will never be stopped! S-So... you'd better watch closely, all right!?

Itsuki: Yeah, I know.

Eleonora: W-Well, I'd better head backstage for prep. It's not easy being so high in demand. I'll see you later.
