Pastel*Palettes Band Drama Episode 16: The Same Goal
~ The Same Goal ~
(Aya and Chisato's relationship changes and the members all look towards a common goal together.)
On the way home
Maya: Um, Chisato-chan.
Chisato: Maya-chan, good work today. What's up?
Maya: Good work today too. Actually, I have something to ask.
Chisato: About whether I hate working hard?
Maya: ..... Yeah...
Chisato: Well...... I don't think working hard is a bad thing. But I do think that by just blindly working
hard, you don;t deserve praise either.
Chisato: If you proceed just by believing in hard work alone, this wouldn't be any good, would it? Then
how will you go on afther that?
Maya: So you mean...... you want a way of progress that's more certain?
Maya: So that's some that helps us improve and get victory, like the office's backup or from feedback
from the public... that sort of thing?
Chisato: Well, Aya-chan said that she would slowly get to understand me from now on. But I don't think
she'll understand what I said now ever.
Maya: But when would you choose a path that's "believing in hard work" then?
Chisato: Perhaps as I was watching Aya-chan, I wanted to start believing in it too. "Hard work", that is.
Maya: In Aya-san...
Chisato: It's so strange. A person like her who can't do anything, can't stand up to pressure when it
comes down to it, and a crybaby......
Maya: Chisato-san, hahaha, that's so mean!
Maya: I got courage from Aya-san and that's why I'm here now. Maybe Aya-san has some strange
power to change people.
Maya: Thank you very much. I'm really glad I got to talk with you like this today.
Chisato: Don't say that. I feel the same too. Well then, see you tomorrow.
Maya: Yes!
Several days later
Entertainment agency lesson studio
Chisato: I have been saying this a lot but there's limited time until the event. So we have to plan
carefully about what we are going to do now on.
Aya: I know that but... But I think we should have more time for personal training...
Chisato: We are a band so we need to focus more on how we look and sound together, right? We
have to look at the big picture at hand.
Hina: Uh-huh, there they go again...
Eve: Aya-san and Chisato-san really quarrel a lot. Are they fine?
Maya: Ahaha! Eve-san, that isn't a quarrel!
Eve: Is that so? Hm... then a lovers' squabble?
Maya: U-Um... if you say it like that.... I-It may be.... so...?
Aya: I get it. Then from tomorrow onwards, let's focus on practice involving everyone and all areas,
okay?
Chisato: Aya-chan, thank you. This would decrease a lot of the time we have for our personal training
but is that alright for you?
Aya: I still feel a little insecure about that but... If it's just insecurity, I just have to work harder. I'll find
some time outside of these sessions for my personal training.
Chisato: Thank you. Let's work hard so the live will proceed smoothly.
Maya: See, they made up.
Hina: Oh, isn't that just pacifying each other?
Maya: Please keep those comments... to a minimum...
Aya: Chisato-chan, ever since we started speaking, I've been thinking... We definitely have the same
goal.
Chisato: Goal?
Aya: To stand on the stage again... To make the live a success.
Aya: We might have chosen different paths to the goal but as long as the goal is the same, we will be
fine.
Chisato: ......
Aya: Sorry! D-Did I say something wrong......?
Chisato: I was just thinking that you finally understood it.
Aya: Huh? Huuuuuuuh?!
Chisato: I was thinking that you might have never understood it, so I'm happy.
Aya: Chisato-chan, that's so mean......!
Chisato: Haha, but it's true that I'm happy about this. We are polar opposites in everything we do and
think after all. We even had such a long debate about a part of the practice menu after all.
Chisato: But like you said, we are aiming fo the same goal.
Aya: Chisato-chan...! Let's work hard together! Let's definitely make this a success!
Chisato: Even if you don't say anything, I intend to do just that.
Maya: Somehow I feel that this time, Pastel*Palettes will definitely go smoothly!
Hina: Yes, I feel the same way too!
Eve: Yep! This is called willpower that is able to break a rock, right?
Maya: Eve-san, your word choice is as erratic as usual...
