Two non blood related brothers Hanagaki Shiro and Ren decided to enroll in Yumenosaki to become an idol. Join them in their journey as they meet new and old friends!
"....To make everyone happy huh? Kazehaya Tatsumi, the 'Revolutionary of Reimei Academy' has an undeniably righteous dream. I can't help but feel a certain empathy for him." Nagisa said.

"That's right. Shame we-the revolutionary counterparts from Yumenosaki-only held a superficial ideal or rather it was tainted by Eichi-kun. For happiness, for love, for peace, or for dreams. The list can go on forever but the radiance of these ideals fades away the moment someone suffers because of them." Hiyori said.
"We had dreams too but for their realization we turned the Five Eccentrics into living sacrifices. Our ideals, tainted by blood, fell into the depths of the abyss." He added as Nagisa looked at him with a concern face.
"But from what we've heard that Kazehaya-kun never gave up until the end right?" Hiyori then said. "Seems to be the case. He held a noble ideal and carried on until the very end." Nagisa said.
"It's almost enviable, especially for those like us who grew sick of everything and ran away because we packed the determination to bridge the gap between reality and our ideals." Hiyori said.
"Haha. There's no need to be so modest! I believe you both made a wise decision! Dreams are called dreams precisely because they aren't reality and ideals are labeled as such because they are unreliable." Ibara said.
"Kazehaya Tatsumi-shi's revolution ended in a tragic failure because he mistook dreams and ideal for reality. Now with Reimei Academy at the center of the storm all of our CosPro affiliated idol training schools are in chaos because of the turmoil he caused." He added.
Just then they heard someone shout. "....Oi Ren come back here you idiot!" The three of them turned to see two people, or rather an aquaish blue with white strip haired boy chasing after a dark green hair boy down the hallways.
"Hm? Those two....could they be...?" Ibara whispered as he finds those two familiar. "No way am I stopping! Try and catch me Nii-san!" The boy with dark green hair said as he stuck out his tongue. "...Wai-?! Look out!" The person with aquaish blue with white strip haired said but it was too late.
The boy who was getting chased bumped into Nagisa and fell. "Ren!" "...Ouch..." "...Are you okay?" Nagisa asked as he reached out his hand. "...Ah. S-Sorry! I didn't mean to..." The guy with dark green hair said.
"Nope I'm fine. You?" Nagisa asked. "Hai! I'm fine! Thank you for asking!" The guy said. "Oi Ren you okay?" The person with aquaish blue with white strip haired asked as he goes to Ren's side. "Nii-san! I'm okay I just sorta bumped into him." The person known as Ren said.
"...Sheesh this is why I told you not to run in the hallway." "But Nii-san you were running too weren't you?" "That's cause I was chasing you you idiot!" "Eeeeeh...." "...Haaaa. I'm sorry about my little brother. I hope he wasn't rude to you." The older brother asked.
"...No it's okay. I did not take offense since he wasn't rude." Nagisa reassured. "...Is that so? Then I'm glad. Ah please excuse us we're kinda in a hurry." The older brother said. "Oya? I knew you two were familiar. If it isn't Hanagaki Shiro-shi!" Ibara said.
"...Huh?" "Ah Nii-san it's that person! Last year we happened to meet him when he accidentally almost hit us!" Ren said. "...! Wha-?!" Shiro said in shock. "Hahahaha! I see that's how you remember me although I cannot deny that fact. It's been a long time you two. Since Kazehaya-shi was trying to lead the revolution was it?" Ibara said.
This causes Shiro to twitch his eyebrows. "...Oi." "Hai what is it?" Ibara asked. "...Never mention his damn name in front of me ever again." Shiro said with a glare. "...Huh? What? Do you hate this Kazehaya-kun or something?" Hiyori asked.
"...I don't hate him. I absolutely hate him. Just thinking about his name makes me want to puke." Shiro said. "...Nii-san you really still hate him?" Ren asked. "...Har?! Of course. I will and forever will hate him. Damn it I was a fool to even trust him." Shiro said as he whispered the last sentence. "...?" Hiyori tilted his head as he couldn't hear the last part.
"Wait now's not the time to remind ourselves of that, we need to get going Ren! Yuugiri-senpai is already waiting!" Shiro then said. "I don't want to! Yuugiri-senpai is going to get angry at me!" Ren whined. "...Are you a kid?" Shiro said with a sigh. He then pulled and dragged Ren to wherever they are going. "Come on let's go."
"N-Nii-san?! L-Let go...!" Ren said as he tries to release himself but couldn't since Shiro is just stronger. A while later the two could no longer be in sight.
"...Well that was kinda surprising." Hiyori said. "...That Shiro person...he seems to really hate this Kazehaya Tatsumi." Nagisa said. "Indeed. But last year they seemed to be really close though. What happened back then must have really put a big strain on their relationship." Ibara said with a sigh.
"...As much as I'm curious what happened. I'm afraid i have to get back to what I was saying. I've been trying my best to settle things but they've proven to be too much for me to handle alone. Hence out of sheer desperation I recommended that both of your transfer here." He then said.
"...I'm flattered by your recognition but even though we transferred over here we probably can't change anything." Hiyori said with a sigh. "...Yeah. We aren't able to do anything. We learned it the hard way at Yumenosaki Academy." Nagisa said as he sighed also.
"No being that humble is almost self-deprecating! Although I do think you accepted the offer precisely because you were feeling vulnerable after experiencing such a tragic incident you posseses abilities as idols that surpass everyone else and both of you have the brilliance to change the world." Ibara said.
"Moreover the revolution led by Fine at Yumenosaki Academy was interpreted favourably by the public as a great achievement." He added causing Hiyori to be quiet as it doesn't give me good memories.
"I, Saegusa Ibara, am confident that I can make the best possible use of your talents and accomplishments." Ibara then said. "I've heard you're a savvy entrepreneur who runs several companies. Though probably not on the same level of wealth as Eichi-kun from the Tenshouin Zaibatsu." Hiyori said.
"You have the experience and achievements of building a company from scratch and making it a huge success." He added. "...That's right. Eichi-kun was like a kid who picked up a knife or drove a car for the first time." Nagisa said.
"...He's undoubtedly competent. However due to his inexperience with such things his mishandling of incidents led to numerous accidents." He added. "I believe he'll do better next time. He's just that kind of person. Eichi-kun has been great at learning since he was a little kid." Hiyori said.
"Despite being confined to a hospital bed he managed to learn loads of stuff in a short amount of time after all. It feels like we were dragged along with Eichi-kun's trial and error process this time. And we ended up getting stained by the mid together. A bird with tainted wings can no longer fly in the sky." He added.
"Indeed so please take this time to rejuvenate yourselves thoroughly to your hearts' content! I hope that your time at CosPro's academy will be a period of thorough purification! Then please return as idols shining brightly like the sun that lights up our world! Of course I will never force you to do anything!" Ibara said.
"Unlike Kazehaya Tatsumi-shi I believe that the staircase to the summit is built not with empty dreams but with accumulated achievements. Step by step we'll reach the top." He added.
"So we are the materials for that staircase you're building? Guess we are still being used for someone else's benefit even if the environment changes." Hiyori said with a sigh. "That's why I think we should make an effort to avoid repeating the same tragedy. To make sure it never happens again to avoid losing anything else." Nagisa said.
[Yes I very much mess up the story for a little bit from the chapter where Hiyori and Shiro talked to each other in private but bear with me I will make this work 😭]
