Hey speaking of Kiria :v
As I said in the first Intermission update, there’s really nothing stopping you from abandoning the plot to go do sidequests. So uh…yeah, let’s go do that.

hey. mind if I ask you to help me with something?
you can find me…let’s see…along Central City Street.[/quote]
Sounds like a plan. Off to Shibuya!
Hey…are you good at keeping secrets? If so, then I have something to ask of you.
What’s going on?
It won’t do to stand around and discuss it. Let’s go somewhere else.
I can’t believe Kiria doesn’t want to stand around in the mirage attack zone. There’s such a lovely sky today!
I’m not asking for your opinion. :colbert:
…Sorry. I want you to find Sir Gen- er…this plushy for me. Seems like I lost it when I was filming at Daitama the other day. Can I ask you to do this for me?
I understand. I’ll look for it.
…I owe you one. I’ll send the image to you. Let me know when you find it, and thanks again.
Well that seems pretty straightforward. Note that there’s no recommended level, so this should be pretty simple.
In fact, we don’t even have to enter the dungeon. It’s just sitting right out here in the lobby.
Itsuki finds what appears to be Kiria’s plushy on the ground…
Oh dear, that’s uh…not good.
Oh man… I wonder if Tsubasa could patch up something like this.
[quote] Hey Tsubasa, do you happen to be good at sewing? There’s something I need fixed.
Sewing?
Itsuki?
Oh… This is something different.
…
I see.
???
it’s nothing. i’m sorry for bothering you.
Hmm… Sewing, huh? I may not look it, but I’m pretty clumsy with handiwork…
Oh, I can see that.
You meanie!
Oh! But my sister is great at things like that! 
She used to sew up holes in my clothes all the time when I was younger!
Why are you acting so proud about that…?
Try talking to Aya!
Got it, thanks.
[/quote]
I’m kind of surprised he didn’t go straight to Aya to begin with, honestly. Given how clumsy Tsubasa is at uh…basically everything. Back to the office!
This is… Itsuki, wouldn’t it be better if you fixed this yourself?
Huh?
It’s just a hunch, but I think that would be better.
I can’t believe Aya is going to sabotage her own sister like this. Incredibly fucked up.
Okay…
Don’t worry! I’ll take responsibility and teach you how to do it. Let me go get some tools.
Itsuki sewed up the plushy while Aya taught him how to do so…
That’s…technically an improvement? 
I think it gives it great character. Now, why don’t you hurry along and return it?
Wait, return it? How did you know this wasn’t mine?
Hmm… Call it a woman’s intuition.
Uh-huh… Anyway, I should get going. Thanks for your help.
Well, that went suspiciously well. I suppose we ought to let her know we found it now.
[quote] Are you still there, Kiria?
did you find it?
Well… more or less.
thank goodness.
I’ll be waiting by Central City Street again, so come talk to me.[/quote]
And one last trip to finish this one up.
Don’t thank me yet.
…? What’s wrong?
Actually…it was in a pretty bad state when I found it…
Sir Gen!
…
Did you…fix him, Itsuki?
…I’m sorry. I took the liberty of fixing it…
Hey, Itsuki…
I was in a slump because the new song for my next concert wasn’t going well. I was worried about Sir Gen too… But you found him, and even patched him up. When I’m holding this, a mysterious sensation rises within me… If I pour this feeling into my song, I’m sure that-
Kiria Kurono’s soul as an entertainer has achieved a new awakening… Kiria’s inspiration has taken form as a new Performa: Hidden Strength!
Okay…! Itsuki, make sure you come see my next concert. I’ll show you a performance that’s different from before.
That sounds like a promise to me. Back to the Bloom Garden!
Like Touma’s first sidequest, this one doesn’t actually do anything. Our reward for this sidequest is a new Ad Lib attack.
Heh heh heh… That doll… Is it my imagination, or are you doting on that thing even more than before?
It’s your imagination.
Well look at you, giddy as a schoolgirl. Who knew the cool, frosty Kiria had an adorable side like this?
Can it.
Labyrinth ~ Kiria Kurono (Full Song)
[quote=Lyrics]I just looked ahead, and never turned back,
I didn’t need the hesitation.
Ignore all my doubts, close off my mind,
Out from the congregation.
But the more I protect who I am inside,
Or who I believed I was,
I feel them drift farther away, lost in loneliness.
Never falter, and don’t be weak.
And in my head, that was all I could be.
Oh what is happening?
I just don’t understand.
I’m all alone and lost inside this maze that feels so wrong.
Accept me please, someone, for who I really am.
Maybe that’s the only thing I wanted all along.
And now, finally I can begin to realize,
Because I just want to share that smile I see in their eyes,
Nothing else.[/quote]
Most people would probably agree that this is Kiria’s best song in the game. I personally like her second sidequest’s song better, but Labyrinth is still really, really good!
True, today’s concert was amazing! She seemed more energetic than normal… Think she has a boyfriend now?
A cute little thing about this scene, you see how Itsuki has his eyes closed up there? On this line, and this line alone, you can see him glaring out at the hallway.
Nah, I doubt that! There’s never been any rumors like that about her at all. She does seem pretty standoffish…
But I’d totally be okay with Kiria toda-aaaaaah! W-Welcome back, ma’am!
…Thank you?
Welcome back.
Hey, so what did you think about today’s concert?
It was even better than the last one. You were right when you said that’s how it would be.
Hehe… I suppose I was.
…Today’s concert went well because you fixed Sir Gen - that plushy, I mean.
I’m glad I could help.
…
Carrying something like that doesn’t really fit my persona, right? Like… Doesn’t it feel…gross?
I was a little relieved, actually. I had built up this image of you just being cool and intimidating, but now I know you like that kind of thing too.
Huh?
Plus, that plushy… The clumsy feeling it has kind of reminds me of you too.
…Aaaaand there it is. The ol’ Ice Queen Tsundere routine.
I-I’m sorry?
…It’s not like i enjoy these things in particular. It’s more like…a memento.
A memento?
…It’s nothing important. Well, I have a meeting to attend, so I’l be going. See you around!
Kiria Kurono has grown as an entertainer and has become “A New Charisma”!
Our reward is The Labyrinth, an ice-based Ad Lib skill. Like all the others, it’s nifty and solid when it goes off, but it’s not nearly frequently enough to be counted on for anything.
And before we go, one last thing. Back in the Bloom Garden…
So, about the plushy you just repaired? I think you might have made it even more precious to her…
