Eve
Good morning!
Aya
Good morning~! ... Oh! I guess Eve-chan and I are the last ones. Everyone else got here so early.
Chisato
...
Maya
...
Aya
Huh, what? What's with the weird ambiance in the room?
Eve
Is there some sort of ascetic training going on?
Hina
So, now that everyone's here, there's something really important I have to tell all of you!
Aya
H-Hina-chan...? Wh-what's going on?
Eve
S-something you'd like to tell us...?
Hina
Yes, brace yourselves... I am actually an alien hailing from the planet Hinantus!
Eve
H-Hinan- What? Where is that?
Aya
Y-yeah, what are you talking about? Stop it with your jokes already, Hina-chan!
Hina
My apologies, everyone. I'm sorry for keeping it a secret all this time...
Eve
Hina-san... You're really an alien?
Hina
You know how I say "boppin'♪" all the time? Well actually, it's from the language used on Hinantus. Everyone speaks it on my planet.
Hina
Somehow, I just couldn't fix this bad habit of using the word...
Aya
... I'm sure you're just teasing us right now. It's all a joke, right? ...Huh? Chisato-chan, please say something...
Chisato
...
Aya
Huh...?! What about you, Maya-chan?! Do you actually believe this?
Maya
I think there's a good chance that Hina-san is telling us the truth.
Aya
M-Maya-chan?!
Hina
Aw, Maya-chan... Thank you for believing me!
Eve
I-is that the reason why you're in the Astronomy Club?
Hina
When I look up at the stars, I can reminisce of the place where my Sis and I grew up...
Eve
A-are you saying that... Sayo-san is also an alien, too?!
Hina
Yes... I hope that we'll be able to go back there... someday.
Maya
We're going to miss you if you go back to your home planet... But if there is any way I can help, please tell me. I'll do anything I can!
Aya
Huh...?!
Eve
You have my full support too!!
Aya
What?!
Hina
Thank you, everyone...
Aya
Th-this is all a joke, right? Huh? Or is it not...?
Aya
(Is it possible that Hina-chan is capable of so many things... because she's actually an alien?)
Aya
H-Hina-chan... If there is anything I can do-
Chisato
That absolutely won't do!
Maya
Ch-Chisato-san?!
Chisato
Since it's come to this, I must tell you all the truth, too... I'm actually a secret agent working with a hidden organization.
Eve
A secret agent?
Chisato
Yes. The purpose of our organization is to capture aliens who've come to earth in order to prevent them from invading our planet.
Chisato
We got word that one had joined Pastel✽Palettes, so I infiltrated this band. I'm so sorry I've kept all of this a secret from you, Aya-chan.
Aya
How could this be...?!
Eve
Chisato-san, please! I beg you! Can't you look past it and let her go? Hina-san is our friend and a precious member of Pastel✽Palettes!
Chisato
I'm sorry. I am first and foremost a member of the organization. I simply can't turn a blind eye to this.
Chisato
But at the same time, I don't want to hurt you. If you surrender willingly, I will see to it that you won't suffer as much.
Aya
(What should I do?! At this rate, Hina-chan will be met with a terrible fate!)
Hina
Pft...!
Chisato
Fufu...! Fufufu...!
Aya
Wh-what's gotten into the two of you?!
Hina
Ahaha! I can't handle it any longer. I'm going to burst out laughing!
Chisato
Fufu. Hina-chan and Maya-chan, bravo on your marvelous acting.
Aya
Marvelous acting? Can someone please explain to me what's going on?!
Hina
Ahaha! Oh, I'm so sorry, Aya-chan! You see, after learning that Maya-chan was behind that Halloween special, I wanted to try being a mastermind myself!
Maya
We got to talking about how both Hina-san and Chisato-san would be great at it. One thing led to another, and we decided to give it a shot!
Chisato
Sorry for tricking both of you!
Eve
S-so that means all of that just now was an act! That's such a relief~! I'm glad that Hina-san won't be captured by a secret organization!
Aya
Sigh... Give me a break, you two! And here I was freaking out about what to do if Hina-chan and Chisato-chan started fighting!
Eve
I really need to commend the both of you on your remarkable acting skills!
Hina
Mwahaha~. Now, the real question is which part was acting and which part was real?
Aya
Wait, what?! Aw! Enough with that already, Hina-chan!!
Transcript
Marina
Oh, if it isn't Hina-chan. Hello! I watched your Halloween special on TV the other day~!
Hina
Marina-san and BanG Dreamer-san! Hey, guys~! Ehehe, thanks for watching our program!
Marina
There sure were a lot of mysteries you had to solve. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see if you guys would make it out or not!
Hina
Huh? But the puzzles were all ultra obvious!
Marina
Ahaha. Only to you, Hina-chan!
Marina
Anyway, the riddles were fun, but your costumes were fabulous! They really captured the spirit of Halloween! Plus, they looked great on all of you! You guys were super adorable!
Hina
Really?! Yay~! I loved my outfit, too~♪
Hina
Speaking of which, you know how at like convenience stores and whatnot, sometimes the staff members wear costumes during holidays and stuff?
Marina
You mean like how they dress up like reindeer or Santa Claus during Christmas?
Hina
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! You guys don't do that here~?
Marina
No, we don't. It sounds like a good time, but we've never done it before. Besides, it might be hard to choose what to dress up as.
Hina
Aww, but it'd be so much fun~! I got an idea! Why don't I pick what kind of costumes you two should wear?
Marina
You'd do that? Fufu, I'm kind of curious to know what you'd pick out for us!
Hina
Hmm~, for you, I think a witch would be great! You could put on a long, black robe and wear a pointy hat.
Marina
A witch, huh? I suppose that's not too embarrassing. Maybe I could try that.
Hina
Oh, but if you want a more mature look, then you might want to go with a vampire!
Marina
But that seems kind of cool and sophisticated... I-I'm not sure I'd be able to pull that off.
Marina
Oh! But the little devil outfit you wore seemed nice, too! Maybe I'd like to try something like that.
Hina
Ahaha, then we would match~♪
Marina
Fufu, we sure would~. Awww, all the costumes seem great, it's really hard to choose one...
Hina
If that's the case, why not just mix them all together?!
Marina
Huh? M-mix them all together?!
Hina
Yeah! You can be a witch-vampire-devil~! How awesome would that be?
Marina
I-I wonder...
Hina
You can put on a vampire cape and don a witch's robe. And you can have little devil horns coming out of your head...
Marina
I-I'm imagining it now, and it sure is something else...
Hina
And you can have vampire fangs and a little demon tail sticking out!! Yup! Now we're boppin' ♪
Marina
Whoa, hold your horses! I'm not sure I'm feeling very boppin' at all...!
Hina
What~? Really? What about you, BanG Dreamer-san? Are you boppin' yet?
Hina
You neither?! But why not~? Oh, I got it! We can add some devilish, long witch nails to the outfit...
Marina
H-Hina-chan, this costume you're brewing up is getting more and more out of hand as we speak~!!
