"Being A Hero Would Be So Cool!!"

Ren was smiling quite brightly as he walked into Submariner, catching everyone else off-guard. "Nanahoshi, you seem quite happy. Did something good happen?" Rio asked. Yuuto leaned in closer as Ren sat down. "Well, tell us!!" He said excitedly. Ren smiled shyly. "Well, I just watched the latest episode of STAR FIVE, and..."

Ren went on for ten minutes, excitedly explaining the plot of the episode. Only Yuuto seemed really interested, and within the first few minutes everyone else had returned to what they were doing before Ren arrived.

"Wow, it sounds awesome!! Ren, we should watch this together sometime!" Yuuto shouted. Ren smiled. "That would be really amazing." He replied. They sat in silence for a bit before Rio said, "Nanahoshi, Goryou, we should really start practice." The two nodded in agreement.

After practice, Yuuto and Ren were taking a walk together, discussing STAR FIVE. "Man, being a hero would be so cool!!" Yuuto said, and Ren enthusiastically agreed. Somebody tapped Ren on the shoulder, and he turned around.

"Hey, I heard you guys were talking about STAR FIVE. Mind if I join in? I'm a huge fan too." εpsilonΦ's guitarist Haruka Nijou asked. Yuuto turned around as well. He glanced at Ren. he had expected him to say something like "I'm sorry!" and run away, but he was pleasantly surprised when Ren happily agreed.

"And did you see when he did that backflip off the ship? It was so cool!" Ren shouted. Haruka grinned. "Yeah, I saw it too!! But my favorite part was when he took on that whole gang of space pirates all on his own!" He responded. Yuuto was trying to keep up with the conversation, but since he'd only seen a few episodes of STAR FIVE, he didn't really understand anything that Ren and Haruka were talking about.

After a while, they arrived at the building where εpsilonΦ lived. The front doors opened, and Kanata Nijou dashed outside. "Big Bro!! Where were you?" He said, wrapping his arms around Haruka, who pushed him away. "Get off me, Kanata." He responded. Kanata glanced curiously at Ren and Yuuto. "Who are these guys?" He asked, rather rudely.


"I'm Yuuto Goryou, and this is Ren Nanahoshi!" Yuuto responded loudly. Kanata nodded. "Nice to meet you, I'm Kanata Nijou." He said. Haruka walked away, and stood next to Ren and Yuuto. "Let's keep walking. And no, Kanata, you can't come with us." Haruka snapped as the three of them walked away, leaving him behind.

"Pretty rude." Kanata said, rolling his eyes as he walked back inside.

"Man, I'm getting some pretty weird vibes from him." Yuuto said. Haruka sighed. "Yeah, he's the reason I don't talk to people. He drives them all away from me." He replied sadly. Ren put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, Haruka-kun!! We'll be your friends!" He grinned. Haruka looked from Ren to Yuuto and smiled.

"Thanks, guys. You really are like heroes."
