Every time you finished defeating a villain or wrapped up a broadcast interview, that boy would invariably appear. Handing you a colorful drink, he followed you around brightly, saying things like "You were so cool today!" and "When are you going to go on a date with me?"

Then one day, the footsteps of the boy who always trailed behind you suddenly stopped. Days and months passed, but the boy was nowhere to be seen. Though you had always thought it was a nuisance, his disappearance left a strange sense of emptiness. Nevertheless, you returned to your usual, spark-filled life as a hero.

Five years have passed since then. A major terrorist incident occurred in the middle of the city. Under the powerful attack of a rampaging villain, you were gasping for breath, barely managing to block the strikes. Just as a fatal blow was flying toward you,

CRASH!

Someone's purple aurora surrounded you, repelling the villain's attack. After subduing the villain in an instant, the figure slowly turned and walked toward you.

A deep, clear gaze that felt somewhat familiar. He approached you and slowly lowered his head. On the lips of the man who brought himself down to your eye level, a very bright and mischievous smile spread—one you had seen sometime five years ago.

It's been a long time, my Hero.
