Elysian's Monogatari

Chapter 19: Reconcile

They all turned to see Shiro with Leo and Souma. "Nii-san?!/K-King!" Ren and Ito said. "W-What's wrong Nii-san?" Ren asked. He looked away as he couldn't look at his brother for what he said to him.

Shiro was panting as he ran to find his brother. "I...have something I need to tell u no matter what." He said. He then bowed and said. "I'm really sorry!" "Huh?"

"I felt bad for not telling u the truth that DEADMANZ has already disbanded. I didn't know what to do till Tsukinaga-senpai and Kazanki consulted me."

"...When did u know about it?" Ren asked still not looking at Shiro."...The day after we got accepted to Yumenosaki.

"I was curious how DEADMANZ and Sakuma Rei managed to get u back into becoming an idol again with just their songs so I did a little research."

"...That's where I found out DEADMANZ has already disbanded and they separated into UNDEAD and Akatsuki."

"I did consider wanting to tell you about it. But I know how much u love DEADMANZ. That's why a part of me didn't want to tell u the truth."

"I didn't want to spoil your dream before u even started working on it. For that reason I kept my mouth shut until now." Shiro explained.

Ren was surprised by the reason. ...I see that's why Nii-san...I knew it...Nii-san is the best and the nicest brother I know...And yet I....Ren thought.

"...I also need to apologize to Nii-san." He said confusing Shiro. "...I said that I hate u. I knew u definitely have a reason for not telling me and yet I hurt your feelings by saying those words just because I was shocked by the truth."

"That's why...I'm rlly sry!" Ren said as he bowed in apology. "Ren..." "But since Sakuma-san is now part of UNDEAD, the unit is officially my favorite!" Ren said jokingly with a smile.

"...Hmph u sure u want to say it in front of Kanzaki from Akatsuki?" Shiro said while looking at Souma. "N-No that's not what I meant!" Ren said as his face had gone red from embarrassment.

"Hanagaki-dono it's not good to tease your brother like that. Just because I'm here doesn't mean he have to like Akatsuki." Souma said. "Ahaha King just got lectured!" Leo said.

"...Oh shut it. And Kazanki, just call me Shiro. I have a sibling right in front of me." Shiro said as Souma nodded.

Hm it's good to reconcile quickly. I didn't get to see the performance but I at least got to see the members Rei thought.

"....T-Thank goodness...I-I'm glad u both made up..." Ito said shyly but with happiness. "Thank you Ito-senpai, if not for you I wouldn't have understood Nii-san's feelings." Ren said.

"Oi it's not just him that helped u guys u know?" Koga said. "Hai I didn't forget! Thank you too, Oogami-senpai, Sakuma-san, Tsukinaga-san, Kanzaki-senpai!" Ren said.

"Hmph I'm just doing what I should do for my fans who are troubled!" Koga said. "Hai hai whatever u say Koga-kun~!" Rei teasingly said. "S-Sakuma-senpai!"

Everyone laughed while Shiro sighed at the sight. "Well since it's past school time and everyone probably went home after the mini event we should go home too." Shiro said.

"And for us UNDEAD we have unit practice, Sakuma-senpai you're coming to practice with us u hear me?" Koga said.

"I've got no choice then. It's been a while since we had unit practice. I guess I can join before heading back to the ES dorm." Rei said.

"UNDEAD's practice..." "Hm? Ren?" Shiro asked. "U-Um...!" "Ah?" "I-If it's okay can I see the practice?" Ren asked. "Huh?"

"Hah! Look at you having the guts to ask that! Sure why not I'll give you a special seat for it!" Koga said with a smirk.

"Um..Ren?" Shiro asked. "Ah sry Nii-san it's just that I rlly wanted to see how Sakuma-san and the others practice." Ren said while scratching his cheeks.

"T-Then me too....!" "Takasaki??" "U-Um...I-I'm also interested....!" Ito said. "Ahaha what are you gonna do now King? Your two servants want to go!" Leo said.

Shiro scratched his head as he sighed. "...Fine but not so late." He said as Ito and Ren looked excited. "...I'm planning to go with them but Tsukinaga-senpai and Kanzaki, what are u going to do now?" He asked.

"I'm going back to ES. I feel like I can get an inspiration for a song." Leo said. From this....? Shiro thought with a sweatdrop. "Akatsuki has no practice today so I'm planning to head back to ES as well."

"Since Suou lives in the same dorm as me I'll let him know what happened." Souma said. "...Yeah that helps I feel bad for making them worried anyways." Shiro said.

"Well then it's decided! For now bye King! We'll be sure to meet again probably tomorrow!" Leo said as he ran away while laughing.

"I'll be taking my leave as well. Please take care!" Souma says as he leaves the school. "Then the rest of us are going to UNDEAD's practice room. Just so you know we're going to ES dance room to practice." Koga said.

"...ES huh? That place is for famous idols and not for us beginners right? U sure it's fine if we go there?" Shiro asked. "Hah! Shiron u worry too much! That's only true for living in ES not for practice."

"So if we tell the guards that UNDEAD and Elysian are having a joint practice they won't complain!" Koga said. ...Shiron? Ito and Ren thought.

"...Is that so? Then I guess it's fine." Shiro said. Nii-san/K-King you're fine with being called Shiron? Ito and Ren thought.

"Without further ado let's get going we don't want to keep Adonis-kun and Kaoru-kun waiting." Rei said as the five head to ES.
