Part 2!
Few days later, after all the introduction and orientation of the Shin'eiheis,
there was no meeting of the said group. It's quiet since the '4 Old Bunch of
Peeps Incident', where Manatsu-san held as a hostage. The 3rd seat has been
knocked out, who's guarding Manatsu that time. Unfortunately, the guy,
codenamed Rusa, went to the toilet where he's been knocked out by one of the
hostage takers. Alarm systems wailed and the Nogizaka46's members were informed
and went to a safe house where they're being guarded by their Shin'eiheis
respectively, while the others went outside as well the 2nd Generation
Shin'eiheis who arrived at the scene. Holding their own weapon in case
something tragic happens. Until a guy with a cane arrived at the place wearing
a jacket with a '2nd Seat' written on its back. It's the 2nd Seat 1st
Generation Shin'eihei codenamed Saru! He went to the theater alone while the
Sneak Team is watching from afar reporting what is happening inside to the
people outside. The hostage takers demanded Akimoto Manatsu to graduate from
the group or else they will hurt her. But Saru didn't waste any seconds or
minutes and defeated the 4 hostage takers in just split second, and Manattan is
saved! The crowd from the outside cheered for a job well done by Saru. And
things goes back to normal after that, there were no incidents happened after
few days.
Meanwhile in the Conference Room by Aki-P...
Everyone is quietly talking about something, maybe about the incident few days
ago. Maybe it's not. This month of May where the 16nin no Principal Deux, a
stage play starred by Nogizaka46's chosen members, which will they present at
Umeda Geijutsu Gekijo (Umeda Arts Theater). Also after that everyday stage play,
the 2nd Generation members of Nogizaka46 will debut too in front of many
people in the theater.
"Everyone here inside the room, 2 special events are upcoming this month. The
16nin no Principal deux and finally, the debut of our Nogizaka46's 2nd
Generation Members. We hope that the event be successful and also the 2nd
Generation of Nogizaka46. They shall succeed because their future is good, and
will improve. I say this because I believe in them, like I believe to the 1st
Generation and also to us everyone who makes this group reach their goals.
Let's do more of our best!" Aki-P while standing in front of the management and
staffs, happily ended his speech. They applauded as they end the conference.
At Egao's Residence.
Rin is wearing his school uniform and carrying a bag, ready for his school. He
already ate his breakfast and ready to go outside when his mother called him.
"Rin-kun, don't forget your bokken! You're not going to bring it?"
"No mother, I feel no danger today. Itekimasu." Rin responded as he go out
"Take care my son, be happy at school!" His mother followed up while doing the
dishes in the kitchen.
Rin is walking quietly as usual, the morning is good and the surrounding's
blooming. Fresh and comfortable. Rin feels it, and he's a bit overjoyed as he walks
to school. "Nothing weird's going to happen and anything bad today." A thought
in his mind. He is the only one walking on the street, and the place is too
quiet early in the morning. Rin arrived at school just in time and while he
walk to his classroom, he saw Ayane and greeted her with a nod. Ayane smiles
back. Rin and Aachan aren't in the same class in junior high, they're in
different classes. But their own classrooms are just two classroom away from
each other, so Rin is only a call away from the one he is protecting.
Every class of Rin went well, he got home early because of some announcement
about a school event. He walks home while the sunlight shines in his self. When
he is right in front of their home, he noticed that there's a letter for him.
Rin took it out from the mailbox and opened it. The letter reads:
--
Good day, young Shin'eihei!
There are two upcoming events this month, the 16nin no Principal Deux and the
debut of 2nd Generation Members of Nogizaka46! We are informing you that these
two are very special events. You can come at the stage play if you would like
to, or choose to not to attend. BUT, the 2nd Generation will be introduced
right after the stage play, so you must come to witness the debut of your
protected one. We are expecting the other 2nd Generation Guardians to attend
the said event, and you also are expected. With that said, we are looking
forward to see you there. Remember, bring your weapon as always.
Happy Guarding!
P.S : Burn this note after reading--
He folded the letter and put it in his school bag and went inside the house.
Greeted "Tadaima (I'm home)" while walking upstairs to his room. He put his bag
aside the sliding door and sat immediately on the floor, it seems he isn't
thinking about anything else besides what will be the dinner later. He lied
down and stared at the ceiling blankly, showing that he's really have nothing
to do right now. The stage play's upcoming and Rin needs to prepare for it, to
fight in case something wrong happens again.
--
While his Mom's downstairs, she called Rin "Dear, there's a package for you
here! Come downstairs and pick it up."
Rin picked up the package and went back to his room. When he opened it, inside
a box is a tablet, and a flash drive besides it. And on the top of the box,
there's a letter, it reads:
"Please put the flash drive onto the tablet, listen and watch carefully. Happy
Guarding!"
He did what the letter reads, and pressed the on button of the tablet. The
scene on the video is almost black, Rin can't see clearly what is happening
really, until a voice talked on the video. The voice sounds like a man, the man
has a deep voice, almost like a radio show host.
"Good day, fellow guardians. The reason why I sent you that tablet and flash
drive is, to notify you about the upcoming events. But there's more, I have an
announcement to make. The Nogizaka46's 1st Generation's 3rd seats has been
abolished." Rin is almost shocked at what he heard, he continued to listen.
"But don't worry, they are still on the job. The higher ups decided that
because of the incident last time, where Manatsu-san were taken hostage. I am
sorry about the decision, but as I said before, they are still on the
Nogizaka46's supervision. Now, the 1st and 2nd seats of the 1st Gen will take
charge of the taking care of the members. As for the 2nd Generation's
Guardians, stay focused and alert as always. Danger is imminent. There's a
report from the research team that there will be a disruption of the girls'
debut, stage play is not included. You guys will handle that, without the
support of the 1st Generation guardians. Eliminate the threats. The debut will
start after the stage play this week. Do your best. This is the end of
announcement. *static*"
After the announcement, Rin turns of the tablet and put it back in the box, he
slowly prepared his equipment in a bag even though the debut of the 2nd Gen
will start this Friday. He likes things to get ready early.
--
Friday, the day when will the debut of the 2nd Gen will start. Rin wore a dark
purple suit and pants, and a white necktie. On the back of the suit, he's
carrying his bokken. Rin says goodbye to his mom, while his mom already know
what his duty today will be. A Nogizaka46 staff drives Rin to the airport,
where the boy takes a plane to Osaka, where the Umeda Arts Theatre is located.
A long trip indeed, but Rin stays composed while in the taxi. He already knows
Aachan debut's next week, but he is needed along with his fellow guardians.
Rin asked the receptionist where is the room for the 2nd Gen Shin'eihei. He
followed the staff, knocked soundly and went inside the room. Rin witnessed in
front of him his fellow guardians, all of them wore the same suit, but
different weapons, some aren't wielding a weapon.
Raiken approached Rin.
"Pretty good looking eh kid!? Hahaha!"
"Thanks, you too Raiken." Rin responded quietly.
"Anyways, now all of the 2nd Generation Guardians are here. We must head to the
theater room, the show will start in a few minutes." Raiken liven up his voice
in the room. "Hey guys! Let's head to the theatre room, there are seats
reserved to us, close to the 2nd Generation of course. Remember to not make a
fuzz inside the theatre. Don't make us look like a bunch of dweebs in front of
them, also there are other people watching so stay quiet. Or Yasushi-sama will
scold us so hard. Let's move boys!" Raiken ordered the group to move out.
"Waitttt! Lemme fix my tie first!" Shun hurriedly responded to Raiken.
"That's what you get for moving so much while we're here, hurry up!" Raiken
retorts.
"Okay you guys go first! This is just easy, now walk guys!" Shun finishes up
his tie.

All of the guardians got outside the room and went straight to the theatre.
They've seated in the chairs reserved for them. Rin seated beside Raiken and
another guardian.

"Ah, hello, nice to meet you too." Rin answered.
"Tonight's going to be Watanabe-san's debut! I can't wait. I'm so excited!"
Mirin's sounds very happy.
"We're excited too, but for now let's talk later, the show's going to start."
Raiken suddenly appeared between the two guys. "Let's watch, boys."
The curtain spreads out and lively music's flowing inside the theatre, everyone
applauded as the members run to the stage. MisaMisa, Sayurin, Bebitan,
Seirarin, Maaya, Himetan, Ikuchan, Kazumin, AmiAmi, Ikomachan, Wakatsuki,
MaiMai, Sayunyan, Nanamin and Nanasemaru stared the show by singing and dancing
in front of the audiences. The 2nd Generation guardians suddenly turned
energetic because this is the first time they're watching a stage play, plus it
is Nogizaka46 1st Generation who's performing live. The guardians cheered as
they watch happily.
--
The stage play finished and it's time to reveal formally the Nogizaka46's 2nd
Generation member, starting from Miria Watanabe. Rin saw Shun's sleeping, so he
poked Raiken instead to wake up Shun. "Wake up now sleepyhead! Now's the time
for the revelation, don't just sleep there." He taps Shun's face that it is
like a slap. Shun wakes up wiping his drool on his mouth. "Oh! My bad. Is the
show over?" Shun has no idea what's happening right now. Mirin merrily shouts
with a smile as he cheers Watanabe Miria. "Gambarre Watanabe-san! I'm so
happy!" So happy that he cried, tears of joy it is! "Just don't cry so loud
Mirin, Raiken will tap your face too." Egao tells Mirin.
Himetan's the MC. Miria Watanabe introduces herself to the crowd, everybody's
clapping and cheering for her. While Mirin is crying and the 2nd Gen guardian's
watching from afar, they listened carefully. And after Mirin's introduction,
the 2nd Gen guardians went to the room from before for a briefing of tonight's
happenings.
At the conference room..
A Nogizaka46 staff's in front of the guardians.
"I'll keep this short, all right everyone? Thank you for coming to tonight's
event. The introduction of 2nd Generation that's left, it's until May 12, next
week. So, let's continue supporting their introductions! You may now leave the
area, have a good night everyone!"
The guardians stood up as the announcement finished. The staff left and Raiken
told something to the guardians. "Now the duty for tonight has ended, why don't
we eat, all of us at a nearby restaurant? I heard the food is so delicious
there. Somebody wanna join?"
There was a bit of silence in the room for a second, after that someone raised
his hand.
"Me, I wanna eat. Since I am hungry right now." The guardian looked like in his
40's. His hair is pure snow white and shoulder length. His built is tall and
muscular. He has a long vertical scar on his right eye. Seems like the guy's a
brawler and scary too.

intimidating one. He just left the room twirling a briefcase with his hands.

"Not me Raiken, Mom's gonna get worried at me. So, bye everyone." Rin exited
the room. "Not you too Egao, whyyy!?" Mirin whined like a child. "Let the kid
be, he is fine just the way it is." Raiken chuckled a little. "Now, Kyoto! Come
with us also! Everyone, I guess your responses are yes, right!? Now let's
gooooo!"
"I guess so, sushi will kill my hunger. It will kill. It is." Kyoto retorted.

All of the men that's left headed to a restaurant. Rin walks to a konbini
(convenience store) to buy a strawberry juice drink. Opened the juice bottle
and let out a huge sigh after drank the juice on one whole gulp. He continues
to walk, then he stopped because he doesn't know where the airport is. He
forgot that a staff must driving Rin to the airport so he called a special
number to Nogizaka46's staffs only. Few minutes later a car arrived in front of
him and drive him off to the airport, a plane is already reserved to him. The
ticket's been paid too, may it be the departure flight from Akita or right now.
Rin didn't paid even a single coin to the fare costs, just his strawberry drink
that he bought. An hour passed and he ate a very late dinner with his mom. He
talked about the things that happened earlier at the theater, how it was very
fun and amazing to watch. It is Rin's first time too watching stage play. His
mom looks happy his son chow down dinner and talking about what happened..
Meanwhile at some restaurant in Osaka..
The 2nd Generation's guardians are having a wonderful feast in front of them.
"Itakadimasu!" All of them chomped it down like the guys haven't eaten for
days. Except for Kitano, Raiken, and Mirin. The three are eating quietly while
holding their food with chopsticks. Sushi, karaage, donburi, ramen, and lots of
food on top of their table. They didn't hesitate to slam down the food, they
just watched the stage play and got hungry that much. The people around them
who also eats stared at the guys because of their huge appetite.
"Dizs poosh, iz goud! (This food, is good!)" Shun rejoices as he talks while
chewing.
"Dond tawk wae eahsin, sthupeed! (Don't talk while eating, stupid!)" A guardian
shouted also while chewing his food.
"Stop it Shun and Tako, you're making a fuzz here in the restaurant." Kitano
gives the two a strong glare, resulted the two eating without making a noise.
The other guy scolded has a shaved head, he looks like a high school
delinquent. Yet isn't one of the bad guys in high school. He's a good kid from
the inside.

The gentlemen quickly settled down their meal. They rested a bit, maybe an hour
or so. Others ordered dessert such as Kitano, Kyoto, and Mirin. Others dozed
off for a while because of eating too much their stomachs became full.
Suddenly, Shun opens a topic about the abolish of the 3rd seat guardians of the
1st Generation..
"Guys, do you see any of the 3rd Seats of the 1st Gen earlier at the theater?"
Shun asks while sipping water.
"Nah." - Raiken
"No." - Kyoto
"Me too." - Mirin
"Then what happens to them after that?" He added.
"Do you want to really know?" Kitano suddenly talked. "Do you want to know to
the 1st Generation Guardians?" After Kitano said that, all of the boys quickly
turned terrified and surprised at what they hear. It's because they haven't
heard about the 1st Gen guardians except in the incident when they first
witnessed one, Saru.
"Go on then, Kitano-san." Raiken wants to listen to the story.
"Alright kids, listen. The 1st Generation guardians... wait, why am I talking
about them?" Kitano forgot it in split second. "Like the hell we know!?" The
boys shouted in chorus. "Ah, I got it! The first gen guardians. Okay, okay. The
1st Gen of Nogizaka46 has the most number of guardians is 48/46 group before
the abolish, but now I think they're equal in numbers now, with us 2nd
Generation guardians as an exemption. Of course all in all, the 1st Generation
guardian's the most formidable and powerful guardians. Composed of 3 seats, now
reduced to 2 seats per member. The 3rd seats, like... how should I say this,
they're like the assistant of the member for their appearance at events. Don't
think that if they are even 3rd seats, they're weak. The truth is, we're only
equal to them in an inch. Now, the 2nd seat. 2nd seat members are quite strong,
for example Saru-san, the 2nd seat guardian of Manatsu-san. Unquestionably,
he's very strong. I can sense the guy's power. He didn't even break a sweat
during the incident last time, what if he's on full serious mode. No one can
tell. As for the 1st Seats, of the 1st Gen. I really have no idea about them,
even a single data on a member. What I know is, we should really not mess up
with them, us kids." Kitano ends the story there.
"What about the first meeting?" Raiken asks. "I think the guardians of the 1st
Gen who attended that time, are only few." He added. "You're right kid, that is
the 3rd seats. Not all of them are there at the meeting." After Kitano
said that, the boys were not amused at all, they're like.. "Are you kidding!?"
Shun exclaimed. "The real big guns aren't there? What a pain. I'm hoping to
meet one." He feels disappointed. "You'll just get beaten by the senpais."
"Yeah." The two boys agreed to each other. "Shut up Kotou and Katou! Just mind
your own sleeping business." Katou and Kotou has the same looks: Messed up hair,
sleepy eyes, and average build. They're so sleepy you feel like drowsy too at
the same time. But for sure, they are different.

"Umm, sir? *calls the waiter* can I order this, *points at the menu*, yes
please. Thank you very much." Another guy at the table orders a dessert. He has
mustache that is thin, wears a pure black tinted rounded glasses and a bowler
hat. A suave looking guy. "You're ordering again Purin? You're such a sweet
tooth. Hahaha!" Raiken laughed at him in a good way. "Of course it is Raiken-
san, it's good to live life like a gentleman. Right monsieur Kitano?" Kitano
just nodded to Purin while he continues to savour his own cold dessert.

Traits: The most 'gentleman' among the guardians. Likes desserts more than
everyone.
--
"Do you guys don't know the order of the introductions in the next stage plays
every day?" Raiken puts up a question for the group.
"I don't know. Really. Maybe the staffs don't want us to know the schedule so
we always be guarding every day. Day by day. During the next plays." Kyoto
responded.
"I'm happy that Miria-san gotta introduced first. I'll guard her with all my
might!" Says Mirin with teary eyes again.
"Don't be a cry-baby, you're a guardian you know. But well, I understand that
you have a soft spot for her, even though you must have lots o' will to guard
no matter what it takes. Well, even I will be proud if Hori-san introduced in
the next few days. So we're quits now Mirin. Hahaha!" Raiken commented Mirin's
cry-baby persona.
"Nevertheless, we must take real caution in this event my fellow gentlemen.
*scoops out a flan* *bites* *gulp*, This is the ladies' first step towards the
life of being an graceful idol. So much that it is beautiful to see them for
the first time by the people who expected for them. Such elegance, it is." Purin
lets down a few sentences before going back to eat his flan.
"Glad you got quiet down man, hates the chewing noises you make. No offense
though." Tako said.
"Now guys, hurry up finishing your lovely desserts and let's pay our bill for
the food. We're almost here for an hour or more." Raiken called the waiter for
their bill. Few moments later, everyone got up from the table and thanked the
restaurant for the food. Shun opened the door and the group left. It's almost
close to 10pm. They're on the alley and the guys walking without one of them
making a noise. Must be really enjoyed the food and have no time to talk while walking.
Suddenly, an object rolls down coming to their path..
"Huh?" Shun noticed the object.
"Gentlemen get out of here!" Purin shouted as he noticed the object. It's a
grenade.
The group had the time to react and safely got out of blast radius of the
explosive.
"What's that!?" Raiken blurted out.
"It's a grenade, though not lethal. I know the design, I've seen it somewhere
before." Purin responded.
"Fufufu.. You really guys are the new guardians we're looking for." A voice
popped out of nowhere.
"Where the hell are you? Make yourself show up you idiot!" Shun shouted.
The smoke from the blast faded and revealed masked guys. Their numbers are the
same as the number of current guardians at the alley. Some of them are kabuki,
namahage, and tengu masks. They wore a pure black suit, gloves, pants, and
shoes. All black. They carry each silver briefcases.
"Be prepared, kids. I sense danger." Kitano whispered to the guardians.
Meanwhile at Rin's house.
Rin finished up his meal and went to his room. Picked up his bokken at the
drawer and starts to polish it. He has nothing to do after that. So he got his
homework nicely done and prepared his futon. His phone started to ring
instantly. It's from an unknown number. He picks it up but he didn't say hello,
that's Rin for you. An odd voice speaks from the other line.
"Go outside. Quickly. Heehee."
The call stopped and Rin feels like alerted so he brought his newly polished
bokken with him outside. He walks on the corner of the alley but he stopped
when he heard a thud. His eyes reacted so fast when he detected an object:
Flash bang. He covered his sight quickly as he dashes away from the flash. Rin's
ears are ringing because of the loud noise created by the flash bang. When he
take off his hand to his sight, a figure suddenly jumps to him. Rin shielded
himself with the bokken. *THUD*
"So you're a guardian, right?" The figure asked.
"So what about it?" Rin answered right away.
"You. Must. Be. Defeated." The figure wore a mask covering his upper part of
the face except his nose and mouth area. It grinned like a murderer. "Heehee!"
"Try if you can. Please be my guest."
--
There'll be a huge fight? Next time, witness the 2nd Guardians' might!
