Pastel*Palettes Band Drama 11: A Bundle of Mystery
~ A Bundle of Mystery ~
(The members who were shocked by Chisato's words so much so that encouragement from Maya, Hina and Eve makes Aya cry?)
The next day
Entertainment agency, lesson studio
Aya: .......
*Flashback*
Chisato: Dreams don't come true simply due to hard work.
*Flashback ends*
Aya: (But I don't have any idea how else to... make my dream come true.)
Eve: Aya-san!
Aya: Eve-chan, Maya-chan... good morning! The 2 of you came today.
Maya: Chisato-san's words... It resonated with me and made me nervous, but compared to doing
nothing, I think this would help more.
Eve: Since we started it, we can't stop halfway! We need to see it all the way to the end. That is
bushido!
Aya: Me too. I don't know any other methods to do this so... before I knew it, I'm back here again.
Hina: Oh, everyone is really here! I thought so too!
Maya: Hina-san!
Aya: Hina-chan! You came too! Thank you!
Hina: Ah... Um... I came here for another reason. I don't really understand the idea of hard work
making dreams come true.
Hina: Even if I don't work hard, somehow I am just able to do things. So I don't know the feelings of
someone who can't do the same.
Aya: So... straightforward...
Hina: Well, it's true after all. But Maya-chan told me that a band is to be mixed and matched with other
people. So I've been taking notice of other people more recently.
Hina: And then......
Hina: And then it got really fun! Because there's just so many things that I don't know about other
people! Especially those like you, Aya-chan!
Aya: Me?
Hina: Well, although you practice a lot, Aya-chan, you still mess up at the same area right? Though you
practice so much more than anyone else. If it's me, I'll definitely be able to it. And even though I
think about this so much, I still don't comprehend.
Aya: ..........
Hina: And there's still some more. Why are you still sticking with this even though you can't do
anything? What goes through your mind usually? I don't understand it at all although I gave so
much thought to it. It's so fun!
Hina: Because I spent so much time thinking about it, so I grew to really like you! The enjoyment of
understanding other people! I love it!
Eve: Hm? Hina-san's train of thought... is so complicated...
Hina: Aya-chan is just like a bundle of mystery to me! Because she's a bundle of mystery, it makes her
all the more fun to me!
Hina: "Other people" becomes my motivation. And among them, Aya-chan is the most interesting!
Aya: I am... your motivation...?
Hina: Yes. So I'm here to experience the fun you bring to me. And I intend to do this from now on too.
Really, you will never bore me at all!
Aya: It seems like it's... really complicated? I think... I'm getting praised...?
Hina: Nope, I'm not praising you at all! But I like Aya-chan because you're interesting! And I like how
you're different from me, which makes it really interesting.
Hina: Of course, I like Eve-chan, Maya-chan and even Chisato-chan. Why are these people so different
from me, which makes it so interesting!
Maya: Personally, I think that I should learn from Aya-san's diligent side. And Aya-san gave me courage
too.
Aya: Me?
Maya: Aya-san, you said not to think of yourself as "someone like me", right? And to dream and chase
after your dreams, and to have confidence in yourself, right? I got a lot of courage from those
words.
Maya: I was worried when I first entered this band.
Maya: I wondered if a music otaku like myself with no other redeeming qualities is really suited to be
part of an idol band, but those worries were washed away with your words, Aya-san.
Aya: Maya-chan...!
Maya: Because of those words, I am here today. So I think that hard work is definitely not a waste!
Eve: I think so too. Aya-san, you really improved a lot! So we'll definitely work hard from now on too.
Aya: What should I do... I'm so happy... ;~;
Hina: Eh? Why are you crying? What happened, Aya-chan?
Aya: Ugu.... I-I'm sorry... I... I can't stop my tears....I lost... confidence a little...! After hearing
everyone's words... I...
Maya: We all have gotten hope and strength from Aya-san!
Aya: Ugu... I'm so happy...
Hina: Um...At such a time, I should put myself in Aya-san's shpes and ... um... I can't it's impossible for
me!
Eve: Aya-san is a bushi, right? As a bushi, you are kind enough to help your comrades and give them
strength to go on, right?
Aya: Y-Yeah...
Hina: Aya-chan, you are really interesting~ Oh and because of me, we wasted a bit of time chit-
chatting. Sorry, sorry! Let's start practice.
Eve: Yes! Aya-san, are you able to control your emotions now?
Aya: Ugu... I'm sorry... I don't think I calm down anytime soon.
Hina: Then I'll think of Aya-chan's feelings until you calm down.
Hina: Why? Why did you cry? Why are you so emotional? How did you get so emotional?
Maya: Ahhhh......! Hina-san, that kind of questioning method......
Aya: P-Please wait until I've calmed down~!
