We Who Will Take Flight |  |
Hina
I'm home~!
Sayo
Welcome home, Hina.
Hina
Whoa~, it's been so long since I've seen you, Sis~! Here's your souvenir from Australia!
Hina
Listen to this! My school trip was suuuper fun~!
Sayo
Yes, yes. I'll listen to your recount, so put your luggage down and change first.
Hina
Yeah~, I know~!
Sayo
Good grief...
Hina
Sorry to keep you waiting! Um, where did I leave off at?
Sayo
You still have yet to tell me anything. Come now, I've made us some tea. So take a seat first.
Sayo
Let's have the snacks you bought as we talk.
Hina
Okay! Well then, where should I start~?
Hina
Ah, I know, the Opera House! We saw a rendition of Romeo and Juliet that was really good!
Hina
Hm, but for me, seeing Kaoru-kun and a girl we met before the play talking using only gestures was more interesting♪
Sayo
That Seta-san... As always, she accomplishes the unthinkable in a different way than you...
Hina
Also, we went to a zoo! And Uluru too!
Hina
See? Look at these photos! Didn't they come out perfect?!
Sayo
You're right. Even seeing it in a photo, it has an impressive intensity... The atmosphere is somewhat different from Japan.
Sayo
I must admit, seeing familiar faces in a photograph of a landscape I often see on TV and in magazines feels slightly odd.
Hina
And then, in the evenings, we all played cards together in the hotel! I laughed so much my face hurt!
Sayo
It sounds like you were able to make delightful memories.
Hina
You bet! They were the best memories ever!
Hina
The big events are over, so I guess all that's left is to graduate~.
Sayo
Graduate... Right... Our high school days will be over by the time it is spring.
Hina
...? What's wrong, Sis?
Sayo
It's nothing. I was merely thinking... that it all ended rather quickly.
Hina
Hmm? Now that I think about it, Lisa-chi was feeling like that too~.
Sayo
She was...? Hina, are you not sad?
Sayo
Our previously routine high school lives will end. So many aspects will change.
Hina
Umm~... It's not really that big of a deal, right?
Hina
It's true that I'll have less time to be with everyone, but isn't that about it?
Sayo
I believe that is rather significant...
Hina
Um~, how do I put it~?
Hina
For example, if you met a friend for the first time in a year and said, "Long time no see~!" that would be pretty fun!
Sayo
Well... You certainly have a point.
Sayo
So you are saying the time spent feeling sad can be changed into anticipation?
Hina
Yeah, yeah, that's it!
Hina
When I come across fun stuff like that, I wanna enjoy it as much as possible.
Sayo
You have always been like that since you were younger...
Hina
Anyway, even if we don't see each other as often, all I have to do is go see them if I want!
Hina
It'd be the same for the school! Once I graduate, I won't go to that school every day as I do now, but I can drop by if I want to know how it's doing~!
Sayo
... Make sure you don't inconvenience the school.
Sayo
But it may be just as you say. It is not as if those relationships or locations will disappear.
Sayo
Bearing that in mind, only feeling sad certainly does feel like it would be a waste. Or rather, I would be missing the opportunity to accomplish something right now.
Hina
That's right! Wouldn't it be a waste if you got sad and couldn't tell what was fun?
Hina
So, with that being said... Don't you think it'd be a good idea for you to make more memories with me now while you have the chance?
Sayo
How did our conversation turn to that?
Hina
C'mon, let's go on a trip together somewhere~. You went on one with Tsugu-chan last time. I wanna travel with you too~!
Sayo
I don't know what you expect from me so suddenly.
Hina
Then when am I supposed to ask? If I'm too laid-back about it, I'll miss the opportunity to accomplish something right now!
Sayo
That may be so, but... Sigh. You don't listen to reason once you start insisting.
Sayo
Very well. Why don't we come up with a plan again sometime soon?
Hina
Yay! I love you, Sis!
Sayo
Whoa! Hina...! Don't suddenly hug me... Good grief.

Hina
Ah, it's BanG Dreamer-san and Marina-san! Yoo-hoo!
Marina
Hello, Hina-chan. Are you on your way home from school?
Hina
Yeah, I am. You've got a lot of bags. Were you both out on a shopping run?
Marina
Ahaha, good guess~. You got it right. We went shopping for equipment.
Marina
Oh, hey. We got the souvenir you got us on your school excursion from Lisa-chan. Thanks for thinking of us.
Hina
You're welcome! Our trip was a lotta fun, so we wanted to share it with you♪
Marina
Fufu. It sounds like it turned out to be a great trip. You went to Australia, right?
Hina
That's right! I was wondering how it would turn out, but it was an awesomely boppin' trip♪
Marina
Wow, how nice! But didn't you have a hard time being overseas?
Hina
Hmm, not really. Lisa-chi took good care of us! I might've liked it if there had been some more trouble~.
Marina
R-really?
Hina
Yeah! After all, it's fun when plans don't go exactly as you want or something unexpected happens!
Hina
So it was really boppin' when we went to Uluru~♪
Hina
The scenery was a hundred times more impressive than the photos, and we almost missed the bus back!
Marina
Huh? Were you all okay?
Hina
Yeah! We all ran and made it just in time! That time was funny~. It was super unexpected that nobody realized what time it was!
Marina
Fufu... It certainly can be surprising and flustering when something happens out of the blue. But that would also make for good inspiration and memories.
Hina
That's Marina-san for ya! You really get it! Having excitement really is important!
Hina
Our school trip was so much fun. Next time I'd like to go on a trip with Pastel＊Palettes~.
Hina
Maybe a trip abroad... Ah, an overseas tour might be good!
Hina
And a trip through space too! We'll probably be able to go on one in a few decades, right?
Marina
Ahaha, you sure have a lot of aspirations. But do you think you can wait that long?
Hina
Probably not! But when that happens, I just need to work something out so we can go!
Hina
When that happens, you two should come with us! It'll definitely be fun!
Marina
You want us to join you on a journey in space? Fufu. Now that would be something to look forward to.
Hina
I know, right?! Now I've got one more thing to look forward to in the future!
Hina
When that happens, I hope I'll have even more surprises waiting for me~. Like I meet aliens or get to land on an unknown planet!
Hina
Now that I've decided that, I have to do some research! So I'll be going now! Bye-bye!
Marina
Okay, see you!
Marina
... Meeting aliens and landing on an unknown planet... Hina-chan probably would make all that happen...
