Aya exited the agency with a determined expression, prompting me to swiftly follow her to CirCLE, making sure everything was in place. I allowed her to lead the way, wanting to be the last to enter the studio.
Inside, the girls had been rehearsing the new song diligently, and I couldn't wait to witness Aya's reaction.
As Aya entered the practice room, all eyes turned to her.
"Aya-chan! There you are! Let's rehearse! We have no time left!" Chisato exclaimed.
"H-Huh? I thought everyone's gonna rehearse at the agency studio," Aya stammered.
"Oh? Didn't Kyo-san tell you that we'll be performing in this livehouse?" Chisato teased, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
"E-Eh?!" Aya blinked, clearly taken aback.
"We thought it was about time for a special performance. Kyo-kun here has been working hard on something for us."
"But... I'm not prepared," Aya stammered.
"No worries, Aya-chan! You'll do great!" Hina reassured her, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.
"Bushido!" Eve chimed in, adding to the encouragement.
The practice room buzzed with anticipation as I motioned toward the setup, a subtle cue for the girls to take their places
Aya's eyes sparkled with excitement as she confidently stepped forward, clutching the microphone like it was an extension of her being.
Chisato's fingers danced along the bass strings, a determined focus etched on her face. Maya's drumsticks tapped against the snare in a rhythmic prelude, her steady gaze fixated on the drum set.
Hina, with her electric guitar slung over her shoulder, flashed a quick grin at Eve, who was adjusting the strap of her keytar with an air of effortless coolness.
Their eyes met, sharing an unspoken understanding as they prepared to kick off the practice session.
The room buzzed with anticipation as the opening notes of the new song reverberated through the space. Aya, initially hesitant, gradually found her rhythm and seamlessly melded into the performance.
As the song unfolded, Aya's confidence soared. Genuine smiles graced her face, her voice resonating with an infectious enthusiasm that filled the room, touching everyone present.
It became a moment that transcended mere music—a testament to the deep bonds uniting the members of Pastel*Palettes.
When the song reached its conclusion, I couldn't contain my enthusiasm. "That was incredible, Aya!"
"Kyo-kun, I had no idea," Aya said, her eyes reflecting gratitude, her voice tinged with a hint of disbelief.
"You deserve this, Aya-chan. And it's just the beginning," I said, genuine pride coloring my words.
However, my mind quickly shifted gears. There was a promise to fulfill—the challenge of bringing 5,000 people to CirCLE Livehouse for the performance.
[A/N] Let's go back to the phone call scenario.
In a flashback, I recalled the discussion with the manager about rescheduling the performance and the risk involved in the decision.
"Can't Aya make it in time?" the manager questioned, skeptical about the rescheduling.
"It's a precaution, Manager," I responded, attempting to persuade.
"But CirCLE Livehouse? That's a risky move," the manager hesitated.
"What if we surpass your expectations, and get a huge audience?" I proposed, pushing for the opportunity. It's risky but...
