Elysian's Monogatari

Chapter 16: Afterlive

At the backstage, while everyone was resting from the performance, someone said "Yuu-kun!!! Shii-kun!! That was a great performance!!"

Everyone, especially Makoto and Shiro who thought Geh, turn to see a fashionably tousled silver hair guy running towards Makoto and Shiro.

The two wanted to move away but they were too late as the guy hugged them making the three fall. "....K-King...A-Are u okay?" Ito asked trying to help the two up.

"....U sure are falling quite a bit today huh Nii-san?" Ren said. "Sena-senpai why are u here? Aren't you supposed to be at Florence?" Tsukasa asked.

"...Well yeah but my work ended early and I came back yesterday. I planned to see how Yuu-kun was doing when I saw the poster in the hallways. I was interested so I came to watch. I didn't expect Shii-kun to be here too." The guy known as Sena replied.

"But Shii-kun why didn't u tell me you're going to be an idol again? I would have supported u u know?" He asked. "....How the hell would I have known? U were busy with your model work overseas weren't u?" Shiro said as he got back up with the help of Ito.

"Secchan give Shiro-kun a break you're gonna suffocate him if u continue." Everyone turned to see a guy with mid-length black hair with bangs.

"Ritsun!! It's been a long time!!" Ren said with a smile as he goes to hug the guy. "Yep it sure has been a long while huh? Shiro-kun too, long time no see." "...Yeah glad you're doing well as one of the Big Three, Ritsu." Shiro said.

"Ne Shii-kun what about me?" Izumi asked. "...Hmph I would have said if u hadn't pushed me and Yuuki down." Shiro said. "Mou..u don't have to cold and tsun all the time." "Who the hell is a tsun?!"

"Hm? But if you're here does it mean Leo-san is here too?" Tsukasa asked. "Yep although I left him in the hallways when he said he had an inspiration." Izumi said.

"Oh yeah Shii-kun I was too happy to see u I almost forgot to tell u sth." He added. "....What?" "For my next model work they want me to bring a friend of mine to do a collab with." Izumi said.

"They said it's best if they know the person. Since Yuu-kun is no longer a model my only option is u. So Shii-kun do a model collab with me~!" He added.

"....You're saying as if u have no choice but to choose me." "Wha-?! T-That's not true! Or are u jealous that I'll choose Yuu-kun over u if he was still a model?"

"No." "Mou..Shii-kun..." "U-Um..." Ito said. Izumi turn towards Ito and said with a frown. "What? Can't u see I'm talking to Shii-kun right now?" The face scared Ito and resulted in Izumi getting punch on the head by Shiro.

"U idiot! Don't talk shit about my teammate like that!" While Izumi is self-healing from the punch Ren asked. "Takasaki-kun what were u saying?"

"U-Um...K-King...You're a model...?" Ito asked. "Hm? Ah right I forgot to mention that. Yep I'm a model. Been doing it since I was a child." Shiro replied.

"Is that so? Then you're a child model just like Yuuki and Sena-senpai." Hokuto said. "Yep although Nii-san was a lone tiger back then." Ren said resulting in an 'Oi' from Shiro.

"Ahaha that kinda reminds me of Gami-san!" Subaru said. "G-Gami-san?" Ito asked as he tilt his head. "He means Oogami Koga from UNDEAD." Hokuto said.

"Huh?" "What's wrong Ren?" Shiro asked his brother. "But isn't Oogami-san from DEADMANZ?" Ren asked making the rest confused.

"Ren did u not know? DEADMANZ has alr disbanded." Mao said. "Huh?" "Sakuma-senpai and Oogami-kun are currently in UNDEAD."

"While Hasumi-senpai and Taishou are currently in Akatsuki." Tetora said after Makoto. "In fact Ren-kun it has alr been a yr. And has been 2 yrs since 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗭 disbanded." Tsukasa said.

"...Huh? No way...N-Nii-san do u know about this? Ren asked. However Shiro kept silent as response. Ren was shocked. This means his brother knew about DEADMANZ's disbandment and yet he didn't tell him about it.

"...W-Why? Why did u not tell me...?" Ren asked. Shiro continued to keep silent as he looked away. Ren started to boil in anger as he doesn't understand why his brother wouldn't tell him.

He then start to tear up as he shouts. "...Nii-san...I hate u!!" Everyone, especially Shiro gasped in shock as after that Ren ran away.
