Elysian's Monogatari

Chapter 52: Encounter with Valkyrie

A few days have passed since Shiro was forcefully brought back to the Seisou Hall by Himeru and Tatsumi. Although he now attends Elysian's practice he still doesn't ask Ito or any of the Trickstar members for help. At least not yet.

As soon as today's practice was done Shiro headed out as he has a solo job involving a commercial and so he had to leave early, leaving Ito and Ren alone. Just then Ren asked "Ito-senpai do you have time right now?" "Eh? Um...Y-Yep. Why?" Ito asked confused.

"I have a favor to ask you. Can you help me?" Ren asked. "I-If it's something I can do..." Ito said. "Great! I need your help for this..." Ren said as he tells Ito what the favor is. "Ah...Yep...I can do that...Anything to lessen King's burden...!" Ito said. "...Thank you Ito-senpai! Ah but keep this a secret from Nii-san it's gonna be a surprise for him!" Ren said as Ito nodded.

After that the two head out to prepare for the surprise. While they were outside they heard someone call them. "Huh? Ren-kun and Takasaki-kun?" They both turned to see Mika with a guy with a short, light pink hair that is slightly tousled.

"Mika-senpai! Good morning! Although it's going to be noon soon." Ren said. "G-Good morning..." Ito said. "Good mornin'!" Mika said. "Kagehira are they your acquaintances?" The guy that is beside Mika asked. "Yep! They're my friends! Let me introduce them to ya! From Elysian, Takasaki Ito-kun and Hanagaki Ren-kun!" Mika said.

"Nice to meet you I'm Hanagaki Ren!" Ren said. "U-Um...I-I'm...T-Takasaki...Ito..." Ito said. "Fumu. It's good to know you two have manners. You should already know me but I'll introduce myself anyways. I'm the leader of Valkyrie, Itsuki Shu. Nice to meet your acquaintance." Shu said.

"Where are ya two goin'?" Mika asked. "We're going to buy some accessories." Ren said. "Eh? What for?" Mika asked. Ren then told Mika and Shu what they're planning to do. "Ohh I see...Ne Oshi-san can we help them with it?!" Mika asked excitedly.

"Non! Why must I do work the moment I come back to Japan?!" Shu said. "But Shu-kun it's been a while since you did it right? Why not help out just this once? You know for Mika-chan's sake." "Huh? Who said that?" Ren asked.

"Ah right you two don't know yet. The one who just said that is Mado-nee! She's a part of our family!" Mika said. "Hello there Ren-kun, Ito-kun. I am Mademoiselle." The doll known as Mademoiselle, who is on Shu's left hand, said.

"Ohhh a talking doll so cool!" Ren said. "Fufu good that you know her worth. Because of that I may actually change my mind and help you guys instead." Shu said with a chuckle. "For real?! That's awesome! Oh by the way can you keep this a secret from Nii-san?" Ren asked.

"Nii-san?" Shu asked. "He means Hanagaki Shiro! His older brother!" Mika said. "I see so you have a sibling. Although I don't know him but very well I shall not let your brother know about this." Shu said. "Me too I'll keep it a secret!" Mademoiselle said. "I won't say a word too!" Mika said.

"Thank you very much Mika-senpai, Itsuki-senpai, Mado-san!" Ren said. "T-Thank you...very much..." Ito said. "Hm? You, is it just me or have you been stuttering your words? Also you have been hiding behind Ren-kun since we came." Shu asked Ito.

"H-Hya! I-I'm sorry...!" Ito said. "It's not that Oshi-san. Takasaki-kun is just shy aroun' strangers plus it's normal for him to stutter." Mika said. "Oya? Is that so? As an idol you must have confidence in yourself. But seeing how you guys are still new I suppose I won't blame you for that." Shu said.

"Let's stop talking and get some accessories. We need to prepare it before Ren-kun's brother finds out." Mademoiselle said. "Oh right we can't waste time. Thanks for reminding us Mado-san!" Ren said. "You're welcome." Mademoiselle said before the four of them head to the shopping mall to get what they need for Ren's plan.
