Arigatou, for the Love: a Later Story From Misora City

Chapter 1 – The New School

"Huh, Doremi, you're the Middle School's student now. Why do you still wake up late every morning?"

"Uh, okasan. Okay, okay. I promise, next time... I will."

"But when is the 'next time' that you mean?"

"Umm, I don't know. Maybe next week, next month, or next... year."

"No, Doremi. That is too long. I'll give you an alarmed clock that can make you wake up earlier, and it will starts tomorrow!"

"Uh, okay okasan. Oh no! I must go to school now! Ittekimasu!"

Doremi's POV

It was the first day to me to studied in my new school, Middle School. As usual, today, I woke up late and ran to school. But now, it was different. Not only because of my new uniform and my new bag which must I wore since today, but also, because... now, I ran to school alone. No Hazuki, no Aiko, no Onpu, no Momoko, and of course, no Hana-chan.

Fortunately, at school, many another students from the seventh grade who came late just like me.

I saw the announcement about the class distribution. I read my name was in the list of the students in 7-1.

In my classroom, class 1, I saw someone, Yada Masaru.

"Yada-kun?" I asked, "You're here too?"

"Harukaze? Nice to meet you. Late again?"

"Uh, hehe, Yada-kun..."

"Well, I hear that Fujiwara continues her study in Karen, right?"

"Uh-huh. I'm alone here."

"That's right, sweaty Dojimi." someone said behind me and Yada (and of course, who called me 'Dojimi' beside Kotake?"). He sat down beside me, in front of Yada.

"Uhm, what do you say?" I'm 'sweety'?" I asked, "At last, you know about it."

"Hey, you're wrong, Dojimi. I said that you're sweaty, you know. S-W-E-A-T-Y!"

"Huh?"

Well, he was right. I saw my wet new uniform. I sweated too much after ran from my house (and it was further than ran to Misora Elementary). Not only my uniform, but also my face full of sweat. I felt my sweat drip from my forehead.

"Well, okay. Here, use this to clean up your sweaty face." said Kotake while he threw a small towel to me.

I caught it and said, "Okay, thank you for this. Should I wash it before I return it to you?"

"Of course. You must return it to me tomorrow, after you wash it."

"Huh, okay." I sighed.

Then, our teacher walked into the class.

"Hi, class. Ohayou. Sorry if you all are waiting for me so long. I have a meeting in the headmaster office."

"It's okay, sensei."

"Well, I'm happy to hear that. Uh, I'll introduce myself. Watashi wa Hikaru-sensei. Douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu."

"Yoroshiku."

"Uh, how if you all introduce yourself in front of the class now? You can use your own words. I will call you one by one from my student's list, then you walk forward and introduce yourself here."

"Okay, sensei."

Then, she called us one by one. I looked around the class. 'In this class, I just know about Kotake and Yada-kun... I don't know the another students. Even, nobody between them who comes from Misora Elementary beside us...' I thought.

I sighed than saw Hikaru-sensei on her seat. She hold a letter...

'A love letter?' I asked in my mind, 'Uh, it isn't. Just an ordinary letter...'

She opened the envelope and read the letter.

The student who was introducing himself now said to her that he had finished his introduction.

Before she called the next student, she said, "Well, before I call the next student, I got an information that one of the students in this class named Nakayama Shiori can't come here today because she's sick. I read a letter from her father to school.

'Shiori-chan's here too?' I thought, 'Yokatta. At last... I know that I'm not the only one girl from Misora Elementary, although Shiori-chan isn't an ex-ojamajo.'

"Okay, now I'll call the next student." Hikaru-sensei read her seito's list, "Harukaze Doremi."

I knew, it was my turn, so I stood up, "I'm here, sensei."

I walked forward and introduced myself, "Minna, ohayou. Watashi wa Harukaze Doremi..." and much more that I said in that time about me. I didn't say about my favorite food, afraid that Kotake would tease me and made the other seito laughed at me. I didn't want if it happened today.

"Okay, Harukaze, so... you come from Misora Elementary?" said Hikaru-sensei.

"Yes, sensei."

"Well, class, who comes from there like Harukaze?"

"I and Yada, sensei, and also, Nakayama Shiori." Kotake answered, I'm Kotake Tetsuya and He's Yada Masaru."

"Actually, you can introduce yourself in your turn, Kotake." said Hikaru-sensei, "However, you four come from there. Harukaze, Kotake, Yada, and Nakayama."

"Yes, sensei." I said.

Then, after I walked back to my seat, she called the next student one by one until the last student introduced herself.
