The next day came as the members of Elysian headed to their lesson room since they have practice today. "Good morning! Ah Nii-san, Ito-senpai you're already here? You're fast! Man I even woke up 10 mins earlier too." Ren said in his usual cheerful mood.

"....." ...K-King...Ito talked to Shiro telepathically. ...Yeah since Ren's here let's start. Sakasaki just messaged me a while ago that they're ready too. Shiro said to Ito telepathically. Ito then nodded before Shiro spoke up. "....Ren got a moment?" "...? What's wrong Nii-san?" Ren asked.

"...About the new song we're currently practicing..." "Eh? Ahh is it still no good? The choreography I mean." Ren asked. "...No that's not it." Shiro said. "Hm?" Ren merely tilted his head. "....We're changing formation. I've made changes to the lyrics of the song and you're going to be the center." Shiro said.

"....Eh?" Ren said. "....You heard me. You're the center this time and I've made changes to the lyrics." Shiro said. "Eh?! Wait a minute Nii-san?! We're changing plans so suddenly?! Plus I'm the center this time?!!" Ren said. He couldn't believe his eyes.

"...Ah? Don't you have ears? I won't repeat myself." Shiro said with a sigh. "...iiya I mean it's too sudden! We have like only a week left before we perform our new song!" Ren said. "...Don't worry the choreography is the same. The only difference is the center and the lyrics." Shiro said.

"iiya iiya iiya you can't just seriously expect me to say 'oh okay sure let's do that' so easily!" Ren said. "...We still have time so it's fine. Why are you even afraid of getting the spotlight? Besides Ito and I will try not to stand as much so that people will know you're the center." Shiro said.

"...Eeeeeeh?" Ren said still confused. "....Just so you know this is final so we're not changing again after this." Shiro said. "Har?! Doesn't that mean I have no choice but to be the center?!" Ren said shocked. "....Yep." Shiro said. "...W-We thought...that it will...help...since you're the only one...who hasn't been...the center yet....." Ito said.

"....I mean you're not wrong but still..." "....Don't complain. This is for your own good." Shiro said with a sigh for Ren. "....Ahhh fine I get it it's not like I can do anything! I'm not a good song writer like Nii-san so I can't secretly change the lyrics even if I want to!" Ren said.

"....Good. You know when to give up." Shiro said with a smirk. ...This guy...! Ren thought. "...But can I at least read the new lyrics?" He then asked. "...Yeah I have no problems with that. Here." Shiro said as he takes out a paper from his pocket.

"...K-King...you kept it...? I-In your pocket..." Ito asked. "...Yeah. Since it's new lyrics I knew Ren would need to see the changes." Shiro said. "...Ah...Y-Yeah...makes sense...." Ito said. Meanwhile Ren took a look at the new lyrics and was shocked.

"...Nii-san this is the new lyrics?" He asked. "...Yeah. I thought hard about it last night. Had only a few hours to change after all." Shiro said with a sigh. "...G-Good work...King..." Ito said. "...Thanks." Shiro said. "Ren if you're done looking let's start." He then said.

"Eh? Ah yeah sure. It's going to take time for me to memorize the lyrics but we can at least do the choreography first." Ren said. "...Yeah I don't mind. Yosh let's start our lesson for real." Shiro said as the other two nods and start their lesson.

About 2 hours and a half later the members of Elysian decided to end their practice for the day. "...Let's stop for today. There's no rush anyways. Ren, Ito and I will be heading back to ES so if you need more time to practice the new song then go ahead and stay longer if you need to." Shiro said.

"Really? Can I?! Thank you Nii-san! I definitely need that right now! Well then see you tomorrow!" Ren said. "...S-See you...tomorrow..." Ito said before he and Shiro left the room. "...With this part 1 of the plan is completed. We'll have to leave the rest to Harukawa and the others." Shiro said. "...H-Hai...Let's go...prepare....King..." Ito said. Shiro nodded in response as the two head to somewhere else.
