[Of course that's not the most concerning part in all this. It's not unheard of for CosPro idols to use stage names; Hiyori doesn't know the real name of everyone he's worked with. Still, to assume someone else's name is a different matter altogether, isn't it?
Though perhaps not as big a deal as assuming their whole identity. That's an ordeal he can't even begin to comprehend.
It's somewhat of a relief to hear Elan-kun laugh (or... whatever his real name is). Yet Hiyori can't relax. That last bit of information comes as a surprise, his eyes flaring wide again. Then he wrinkles his nose.]
That just makes it sound like you're a horse being bet on.
[He shakes his head to himself, finding the whole thing distasteful. It's only now starting to dawn on him just how awful "Elan's" treatment really was. It's one thing to be overworked, or made to do hard labor; one thing to be given dull work and treated as a corporate drone. But to have your very existence denied? That goes beyond the pale.]
And it makes me wonder who "One" through "Four" went to. There aren't five other people who look just like you running around out there, are there?
["Elan-kun," four other doubles, and the high-ranking figure whose identity they assumed. There's no way some conglomerate would go to that much trouble... right? Even Eichi's family wouldn't devise a hairbrained scheme like that.

... at least as far as he knows.]
