Hina
I'm back! Eve-chan, how was my photo shoot?
Eve
You were quite at ease, so your good qualities came through! The staff also had positive reactions!
Hina
Mhm! I felt boppin' doing it too ♪
Eve
It seems they need some time to check everything!
Hina
Right. Since it'll still take some time, I'm gonna take a break until they call!
Eve
Okay! When one is alone, times like this can be quite troubling, but today I am here with you.
Eve
Inexperienced as I am, please allow me to keep you company during your break!
Hina
Ahaha, it's good to have you around. I'm glad you're here too. That way I won't get bored.
Hina
Things are totally different when we're with each other~.
Eve
I agree. I actually think it is best when we are all together, but that is not so easily done.
Eve
But just as we are doing our best here, Aya-san and the others are surely doing their best with the joint rehearsal!
Hina
What do you think they're doing right now? I can totally picture them doing something funny.
Eve
I am sure they are providing proper teachings as experienced idols.
Hina
Yeah, Chisato-chan and Maya-chan are there too, after all. Aw man, I wanna talk to the trainees too.
Hina
Y'know, I don't really get the whole junior idols thing. I mean, we haven't had any up until now.
Hina
So I really want to see how that feels.
Eve
I understand what you mean... Having seniors and juniors at school has a bit of a different feeling.
Eve
However, since I was the youngest in our band, it feels like I have younger sisters now, so I am quite pleased!
Hina
Younger sisters, huh? I guess that means that we're gonna be big sisters then.
Hina
... Ahaha! Thinking about it like that, it's pretty interesting!
Eve
It is...?
Hina
Yeah! I've always been the younger sister, and that's been the norm for me.
Hina
So I've never thought about becoming a big sister! I wonder how it'll turn out.
Eve
I see. When you put it like that, I am an only child, so becoming an older sister is a fresh experience for me as well.
Eve
Of course, while it will be different from being an actual older sister, I do hope they depend on us like their siblings!
Hina
Mhm! Oh man, I'm looking forward to it even more!
Eve
Yes! Let us show them our cool side and be of help to them! ... Oh? Hina-san, the staff is calling you!
Hina
Okey-dokey! I wonder if we're doing the rest of the shoot.
Staff
Sorry, Hikawa-san. For the rest of the shoot, we'd like to try it with a different feeling than we did before...
Eve
The photos before were all playful ones, correct? For something different than that, do you mean calm and collected?
Staff
Yes, we'd like to ask for that if possible...
Hina
Hmm... Calm and collected means being cool, right? In that case, I might have the perfect idea!
Hina
Gimme a second! I'll get into character right away!
Hina
... Deep breath in... And out...
Hina
... Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's proceed with the filming.
Eve
H-Hina-san?!
Hina
Fufu. Well then, Wakamiya-san, I will see you afterwards.
Hina
I'm back! Eve-chan, how was my shoot?
Eve
You were very cool... You seemed somewhat like Sayo-san!
Hina
Hey, you guessed it! For me, when I think about someone cool, I definitely think of my big sis!
Hina
I thought that if I did that, I'd understand being a senior idol, but... I think it might be kinda different.
Eve
I agree. You may not be an older sister, but I believe you have the dependability and coolness of one!
Eve
So I think your normal self should be fine!
Hina
Yeah, you're right. Copying my big sis was fun, but I'm me.
Hina
Yeah, I'll make sure to stay myself when I meet the trainees!

Hina
Hey~! Marina-san! BanG Dreamer-san!
Marina
Ah, Hina-chan! Hello. Since you have your guitar with you, does that mean you have practice?
Hina
That's right. I'm working hard for the next show!
Marina
Mhm, you're all doing your best as pros.
Hina
Well, during our last show, we all became role models, so I think that's also part of it.
Marina
I see. If I recall, you had a show with some of the agency's trainees, right? It caused quite a buzz online.
Marina
Are you more motivated now that you have idols looking up to you?
Hina
Yeah! We had rehearsals together, and it was really interesting!
Hina
I had never really talked to other idols outside of the girls in our band.
Hina
There was so much I didn't know. It was so boppin'♪
Marina
Stuff you didn't know, huh? Does that mean that they were different from you?
Hina
Bingo! I realized there are different ways of thinking as idols!
Hina
Take me for example. I became an idol because I thought it would be fun, but the trainees weren't like that.
Hina
From the very beginning, they've been working really hard because they wanted to be idols. And Pastel✽Palettes is included in the type of idols they want to be like.
Hina
It's kinda weird, right? With Pastel✽Palettes, the only one that wanted to be an idol from the beginning was Aya-chan.
Hina
Don't you think it's really funny that girls like us are actually working as idols?
Marina
I see what you mean. But I think all of you are very wonderful idols too.
Marina
No matter how it was at first, we've all gotten quite a bit of energy from seeing you all working so hard.
Hina
Hmm, really? Well, I also think that it's great Pastel✽Palettes is the way it is, so I guess that's okay!
Hina
We've got a model, a child actor, a session musician... and me, a regular high school girl~.
Hina
But by being an idol with those other four, there's so much going on that I never get tired of it.
Hina
If I had been in the same group as the trainees, I can't imagine what I would be like right now!
Marina
Fufu. You really love Pastel✽Palettes, huh?
Hina
Yeah! I doubt there are people as interesting as this anywhere else! Even today's rehearsal is sure to be boppin'♪
Hina
Sigh... It is so much fun being in Pastel✽Palettes~!
