Pastel*Palettes Band Drama 08: A New Special Training!
~ A New Special Training ~
(With no future events in mind, Aya, Maya and Eve puts their all in training. During that time, Chisato...)
A few days later
Entertainment agency, hallway
Chisato: I'm sorry for dropping by suddenly.
Staff: That's alright. Did you need something?
Chisato: About the live event previously, could you ask the media to remove their articles about it?
Chisato: With such articles on the internet, Pastel*Palettes might never regain their reputation and go on
the stage ever again.
Hina: Chisato-chan...? And she's talking to the staff again...
Staff: In any case, we are all very troubled about the current situation.
Staff: We are trying to get the band back onto the stage. Please understand.
Staff: *Phone rings* I'm sorry, please excuse me. Oh about the recording-----
Chisato: ......
Hina: Heyo~ It seems like we bump into each other a lot, right?
Chisato: Hina-chan, how long have you been there?
Hina: Just a few moments ago~ So I didn't overhear much of your conversation with Staff-san too.
Chisato: So that means that you overheard a little then? I'm sorry, the contents of the conversation was
a little bleak and heavy.
Hina: I;m fine. And your points made sense too!
Hina: It's not like I'm very attached at the moment too, but Pasupare is kind of interesting now so I'll stay until I get bored~
Chisato: What's wrong, Hina-chan? I'm not going to go away, you know?
Hina: Well, it's just my gut feeling but I think that CHisato-chan is looking for other possibilities other
than Pasupare.
Chisato: *Giggles* What are you saying? I'll be Pasupare's member from now on too, you know?
Hina: Hm~? Well that's fine too, I guess? Then I'll be going back to the special training now so see ya
around~! *leaves*
Chisato: .......
Chisato: (I thought she never overheard the part about me requesting to leave the band but it doesn't
seem like it's so. She's really... smart...)
*Flashback*
Staff: The negative impacts to Chisato-san's reputation might last for a while more. And it might even get
worse.
Chisato: Worse...?
Staff: We are the staff in charge of Pastel*Palettes so we will do our best to protect members. However,
we cannot say the same for non-members.
Chisato: So you are telling me to suck up the drop in reputation and continue with the band?
Staff: In any case, we are all very troubled about the current situation.
Staff: We are trying to get the band back onto the stage. Please understand.
*Flashback ends*
Chisato: (I only have the choice to remain as a member of Pastel*Palettes from now on. This is the
worst.)
Entertainment agency, lesson studio
Eve: HA! How is this pose?
Hina: Is everyone still fixated on making a pose?
Maya: Idols make so many kinds of poses? I learnt something new!
Aya: Hm... Could you choose a cuter pose? Since we're idols...
Hina: Can idols only be "cute"?
Aya: Yes! Idols are always sparkly and smiling and bring dreams to the audience!
Maya: It's true that idols give me an impression that they are all sparkly too! So I never had confidence
if I could become an idol...
Hina: Hm? Sparkly? What counts in as sparkly? What dreams do idols bring? Aya-chan, do you want
to become such an idol?
Aya: Yes.
Hina: What kind of dreams will you give?
Aya: Um... that... A dream that your dream will come true if you work hard, so you'll not think that
"Someone like myself" will not work. I think that's the kind of dreams I want to give.
Maya: "Someone like myself"...?
Aya: Though this is actually based off on what an idol I liked when I was younger, when everything I
did was wrong. At that time...
Aya: Because of what that idol said on TV, I gained strength and courage. So now, I would like to be
the one who gives others strength and courage.
Aya: Even someone like myself can see and chase my dreams. I want to tell others that if they work
hard, their dreams will definitely come true!
Eve: Aya-san's dream... is amazing! I'm so touched!
Aya: Hahaha... Telling everyone this is a little embarrassing... If working hard will definitely make
dreams come true then I need to be the first to prove that!
Hina: Working hard... Working hard hm...
Aya: D-Did I say something weird?
Hina: Not really... But working hard... dreams... hm...
Aya: Well, dreams differ from person to person after all! I think it is time to stop practicing our poses and move on to stretches!
Eve: That's a new special training, right? I'm so fired up!
Maya: "Someone like myself"... Oh, I see!
Aya: Maya-chan? What's wrong?
Maya: No, it's nothing! I'll try out the new special training too!
Aya: Yes! Let's work hard!
T/N: Having Pasupare look towards the future and working hard is great! I guess now we'll be on Hina and Chisato's arc both at once then.
