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!
The next day came and today the members of Elysian has their separate stuffs to do. Ren, who is alone in his room at the moment, has no job to attend to and so he decided to head outside for a bit to spend time. A while later when he's walking, Ren stumbled upon a bookstore which is quite near to ES.
"...Heeeeh I didn't know there's a bookstore here just nearby the ES building. Ah since I'm here and all I should go see if there's any manga I can get for the Manga Club to read. It's been a while since we had our activities after all." Ren said as he enters the bookstore.
A while later he comes out of the bookstore with a few plastic bags. "...Crap I might have bought a little bit too much." Ren said with a sweatdrop. "...Huh? R-Ren-kun?" A voice said. "Hm?" Ren turned to the direction of the voice to see Ito. "Ah Ito-senpai! Good morning!" He said cheerfully.
"...G-Good morning...t-that's a lot of books...w-what were you doing...?" Ito asked. "Oh this? I just came out of a bookstore. I wanted to buy some mangas for the Manga Club but as you can see I accidentally bought a lot." Ren said. "I-I see....t-those mangas..must be interesting..." Ito said.
"Hai! I bought it based on what the other members like so I really hope they like them!" Ren said. "...Fufu...I-I'm glad..." Ito said. "...? Ito-senpai?" Ren asked. "...Ah...S-Sorry...you looked tired recently..but today you looked the same as always..." Ito said.
"Ah...haha must be because of Switch's live. Their performance was so dazzling so I couldn't keep my eyes away from them. Nii-san and Ito-senpai, I don't know exactly what your plan is but I definitely feel refreshed after that!" Ren said. "...R-Really?" Ito asked.
"Hai! So I want to thank you for that! But I gotta ask. Why didn't you tell me anything? Or rather why did you two made a plan without me knowing?" Ren asked.

"...B-Because we wanted to be Ren-kun's strength....You see..Shadow knew your struggles...and told King...so we made a plan...to try and make you feel better...even if it's a little bit..." Ito said.
"...Daaaaamn I gotta say Shadow is the last person I expected to find out about what's bugging me. He's even faster than Nii-san in that case." Ren said. "Fufu..A-And then...King asked the members of Switch...for a favor...and we two...made changes to the new song....." Ito said.
"And the reason being?" Ren asked. "K-King said that...by changing formation...and holding back a little...people will be able to see...Ren-kun's skills..." Ito said. "...Why am I not even surprised?" Ren asked with a sigh.
"Ah but...K-King was worried about you...so don't blame him...for thinking that way...." Ito said. "Don't worry I don't intend to blame Nii-san for it. I know he just wants the best for me. So I won't complain about whatever changes that were done. Buuuut I don't really like the fact you two have to hold back for me." Ren said with a smile but not in a good way.
"...Eh? Ah....U-Ummm..." Ito said. "I don't mind being a center anymore but I don't want you two to hold back for my sake. Instead I want the both of you to go all out. That way I can get to try and outshine the two of you as the center!" Ren said with a smirk.
"...Ah...Fufu...T-Then it's a competition...between the two of us...and Ren-kun." Ito said. "Hai I won't lose to the two of you! Ah and be sure to tell Nii-san that too!" Ren said jokingly. "Ah...I-I think...it's too late..." Ito said confusing Ren. "Hm?" Ren then said.
"...How bold of you to try and challenge me for the spotlight, Ren." A voice said. Ren immediately knew who it is. "...Eh?! Nii-san?! Since when?! How long have you been there?!" Ren asked. "...Since 'Ah Ito-senpai good morning!' I suppose." Shiro replied.
"Wai-?! That means you heard everything?!" Ren asked. "...Yep. Sure did." Shiro merely said. "....." Ren was speechless. "Back to what I was saying you sure have guts challenging me. Getting all high and mighty since you're the center this time?" Shiro asked jokingly with a smirk.
"...H-Hmph. It's your fault for wanting to hold back. I want the spotlight fair and square. Besides if you two held back now but dance as usual for the next song people will notice and wonder what happened. They'll investigate and will eventually come to the conclusion you two were being considerate." Ren said with a sigh.
"...That'll put me in trouble because I just don't want to stay as Hanagaki Shiro's younger brother anymore." He then said. "....Well if you put it that way I suppose even I can't say anything to counterattack that. Fair enough for a reason so I suppose I can discard the holding back plan." Shiro said.
"Thank you Nii-san. I'll try to be the real center and shine with my own efforts so I just want the two of you to go all out and watch over me." Ren said. "...Hmph if that's all I need to do then I don't mind doing it." Shiro said. "M-Me too...I-I'll do it...." Ito said. With a smile the three of them walked around town a while more before officially heading back to ES.
