Elysian's Monogatari

Chapter 21: Meeting Eden

It was getting late and so the members of UNDEAD and Elysian decided to end the practice for today and head back. That was supposed to be the plan.

But somehow Koga decided to drag the Elysian members to a restaurant with Koga holding Ito and Adonis holding the brothers.

When they entered the restaurant they were greeted with a voice. "Oya? It's the members of UNDEAD." They all turned to see a guy with straight magenta hair with bangs around shoulder length that cross in the center of his face.

"Saegusa-kun and the rest of Eden huh? It's been a while." Rei said. "Hai it sure has been!" The person known as Saegusa said with a salute.

He then saw the members of Elysian. "Oya and those people are?" "They are the new unit group that debuted in our school today. Let me introduce you to Elysian!" Koga said with a smirk.

"...Oogami why are you looking so proud as if you were the one who raised us?" Shiro asked. "Is that so? Then I should introduce myself. I am Saegusa Ibara. Please to meet your acquaintance." Ibara said.

"And the rest of the team are-" Ibara was about to say when Shiro interupted. "...I know. Tomoe Hiyori, Sazanami Jun and Ran Nagisa right?" "Oh excellent you are correct!" Ibara said.

At the mention of their name, two guys, one with spiky dark-blue hair with bangs that cross in the center and the other with wavy pale yellow-green hair, looked up to see who said their names.

Their eyes brighten up upon seeing the brothers. "Oh Shiro-san and Ren-kun! Long time to see!" Jun said with a smile. "Well what do we have here? Brothers whom we have not see for a long while!" Hiyori said.

"Hai it's nice to see you again, Sazanami-senpai, Tomoe-senpai!" Ren said. "Ah but we're no longer in the same school so should I call you Sazanami-san and Tomoe-san instead?" He asked.

"No no, call us by our first names!" Hiyori said with a pout. "Eh? I-in that case...Jun-san and Hiyori-san?" Ren said. "Good boy!" Hiyori said. "What? You guys know them?" Koga asked.

"....We were Reimei Academy's students before transferring here." Shiro said surprising the others except the members of Eve. "I don't wanna explain the reason why so ask Akkun or any of the Trickstar members for it." He added with a sigh.

"I don't rlly understand but seems like you both have it tough..." Adonis said with a worried expression. "By the way, who's the guy hiding behind Shiro-kun?" Hiyori asked.

Ito was startled when Hiyori mentioned him. "He's Takasaki Ito-senpai, a fellow Elysian member!" Ren said. "Oya is that so? You probably know me but I'm Hiyori Tomoe, nice to meet you, Takasaki-kun!"

"E-Erm...N-Nice to...m-meet you...I-I'm T-Takasaki...Ito..." Ito said while still hiding behind Shiro. "Hiyori-kun it's not good to scare him like that." They all turned to see a guy with long, wavy light silver ponytail hair.

"Ahaha sorry Nagisa-kun but this kid is just interesting!" Hiyori said. "I ain't handing Takasaki over to you Tomoe." Shiro said. "Mou Shiro-kun why did call me that? Call me Hiyori instead!"

"No." "Jun-kun! Shiro-kun is being mean to me~!" Hiyori said as he complains to Jun. "Don't complain to me as if I'm going to solve your problems every time, Ohii-san." Jun said with a sigh.

Nagisa then started staring at Shiro. It wasn't until a few minutes later Shiro realized and asked. "....What? Do I have something on my face?"

"Hmm I feel like I have seen you somewhere before...." Nagisa replied. "Har?" Shiro asked in confusion since he obviously did not know Nagisa before.

Then Nagisa said something that shocked the rest. "Ah I remember now. You're Minami-kun from the orphanage right?" ".....!!" Both Ren and Shiro's ears perked up in shock.

"Eh? Minami-kun? What do you mean Nagisa-kun?" Hiyori asked as the rest are as confused as him. Shiro then glared at him. "....You...Why do you know that name?"

"U-Umm....W-What's going on? A-Also...O-Orphanage?" Ito asked. Nagisa then said. "Oh so I was right. It was you." "Answer my question. Why the hell do you know that name?!" Shiro asked.

"...I once went to an orphanage due to my father's work and there I saw you sitting alone in the corner just looking out of the window with a frown. No one talked or approached you even when I was leaving the orphanage." Nagisa replied.

"Nii-san..." Ren said worried for his brother. "Oi what the hell is going on here? Isn't your last name Hanagaki?" Koga asked.

"....Ahhh I'm so tired I'll go home now I don't feel like staying here to eat dinner anymore. Let's go Ren." Shiro said as he left the restaurant. "Ah Nii-san wait!" Ren said as he went out as well.

"....Nagisa-kun, I think you said something you shouldn't have." Hiyori said. "...Is that so?" Nagisa asked. "Hai...Shiro-san looked kind of pissed when you said that..." Jun said.

"...I-I'm going home too..." Ito said as he also left the restaurant. ...Hmph looks like I'll have to ask the brothers to explain tomorrow. Koga thought. In the end only the members of Eden and UNDEAD ate there.
