Chapter 8 – The Children's Love: Elementary Story
Monday, in the morning…
Murasaki looked around at the second floor in his house. Now, he and Tsubomi had studied in Misora Elementary School, in the third grade.
'Thank God. Okasan and otousan must be at the first floor right now, and Tsubomi must be still sleeping in her own room,' he thought, 'Well, I must move fast. I must walk into their room hurriedly.'
He walked slowly into his parent's room, but unfortunately, he didn't know if Doremi saw what he did. She saw that her son walked into her bedroom.
'Eh? Murasaki-kun? But why does he enter my room?' she thought, 'Well, maybe it's not wrong if I ask him.'
When she wanted to enter her room to ask her son, Tsubomi walked out from her own room and asked her mother, "Okasan, why do you see your room's door like that? Is there something wrong in your room?"
"Well, I see your older brother walks into my room, Tsubomi-chan," answered Doremi, "Do you know what does he want to do there? Do you have any clue about it?"
"Hmm…" Tsubomi thought, then she added, "Probably… he wants to borrow something from otousan."
"Eh? I think Murasaki-kun just need to talk to your father, if he really wants to borrow something from him."
"No, okasan. He wants to borrow it without otousan knows if he borrows it from him."
"Well…" Doremi hesitated at first, but then she said to her daughter, "Alright, Tsubomi-chan. We just need to see it now."
Inside the main room, Murasaki took Kotake's perfume and sprayed it to his body, while Doremi and Tsubomi opened the room's door and saw what he did.
"Okay, now you're perfect, Murasaki," he said to himself while he looked at the reflection of himself on the mirror there.
"Perfect for what, Murasaki-kun?" asked Doremi, which made Murasaki was shocked.
The eight year old boy then asked her mother back, "Okasan, since when you…"
"She saw you walk into here, Murasaki-nii," said Tsubomi, "and then we saw you sprayed that perfume to your body."
"Alright then, Tsubomi-chan, I think it's time for you to prepare yourself, since today is your first day in the third grade. Now, you should walk downstairs and brush your teeth, then change your clothes and go to the dining room, and said to your father that I need some time to talk with your brother now," commanded the mother, "We'll go to the dining room later."
"Okay!"
After Tsubomi walked out from the room, Doremi said to her son, "Don't worry, Murasaki-kun. I don't want to lecture you because of this. I just want you to tell me… why do you use your father's perfume? Are you… falling in love right now?"
"Uh, okasan…" replied the boy whose cheek blushed, "I don't know what you mean. Does Tsubomi tell you something annoying about me?"
"No, Murasaki-kun. I'm just guessing it after I see what you did minutes ago," she smiled, "As your mother, I know everything that you feel. I know everything that you think, and now I know that you're falling in love. I can see it easily from your face. All of it shows your feeling. Even, you don't wake up late this morning, Murasaki-kun. You are ready while Tsubomi-chan just recently wakes up."
"Didn't you wake up late when you were falling in love, okasan?" asked him.
"Well, yes."
"So, what did you do with your daily performance?"
"I borrowed some make up kit from your grandmother."
"Including with her perfume?"
"Uh-huh."
"How about your hairstyle?"
"Not for that ones. I felt comfort with my hair buns."
"Jaa, otousan wa? What did he do with his performance? When he had a date with you?"
"Well, he often used hair gel for his hair, and also, I think he used your grandfather's perfume, as it was impossible for a middle school boy to have his own perfume."
"Middle school? Didn't you meet him in kindergarten?"
"Yes, but in that time, we weren't loving each other," said her, "Maybe, your father had already loves me in that time, but I didn't. Even, we were often quarrel in the elementary school, because your father often teased me in that time."
"But then he couldn't ignore his feeling to you, right?" said Murasaki, "You both got married, and then got me and Tsubomi."
"Murasaki-kun…" Doremi couldn't help but smile, "Okay, since you're ready to take your breakfast now, let's we go to the dining room. I think, your father and Tsubomi-chan have already wait for us there."
Murasaki nodded, then they went to the dining room and took their breakfast with Kotake and Tsubomi.
Before Murasaki and Tsubomi went to school, Kotake smelled his son.
"Hmm, I smell a familiar scent," said Kotake, "Is it…"
Before Tsubomi could say anything, Murasaki said, "Ah, I think we should go to school now."
He then dragged Tsubomi out and added, "Sore jaa, otousan, okasan, ittekimasu!"
"Ittereshai!" replied their parents.
Kotake then said to his wife, "I think I smell my perfume's scent from Murasaki. Did he use it?"
"Uh, I think you smell it from your own clothes, Tetsuya," replied her, "You use it this morning, right?"
Kotake kept silence for a few minutes before he asked, "Did something happen when you're talking with him?"
"Well…" Doremi tried to use the best words to explain what she knew. She smiled, "I think he just recently feel something important."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Doremi then whispered something to her husband.
.O.
"Mou, Murasaki-nii!" Tsubomi protested, "Why don't you let me to explain it to him?"
"Tsubomi, don't say anything to otousan about his perfume, okay?" Murasaki begged, "If you say it, I'll say to Tonomi that…"
"Okay okay, I won't ever say it to otousan," Tsubomi mumbled, "Satisfy now, Murasaki-nii?"
On the way to school, someone called them from behind, "Murasaki-kun! Tsubomi-chan!"
Both of the twins saw who it was, Kirarin.
"Ah, Kira-chan da!" said Tsubomi happily, "Then, where's Moni-chan? She said to me yesterday that she wanted to go to school with you."
"I'm here, Tsubomi-chan!" greeted Monica. She then teased the older of the twins, "Well, how about you, Murasaki-kun? Does Cathy-chan…"
"Chotto, Moni-chan! Ssh…" Murasaki hissed.
"Okay, Murasaki-kun," Monica laughed, but she didn't finish to tease him yet. She shouted, "Look! Cathy-chan is flying right there with her angelic costume!"
"Eh? Where? Where's she?" asked him while he looked around, "Where's my Cathy, Moni-chan?"
Instead of answered his question, Monica laughed louder, "Got you, Murasaki-kun. You love Cathy-chan, and I think, it will be a good news at school."
"Huh, Murasaki-nii…" sighed Tsubomi, "You just recently show your feeling…"
Murasaki was so angry to Monica, so he yelled, "Moni-chan, don't try to say it to anybody at school!"
Then, Murasaki chased Monica, while Kirarin and Tsubomi just could laugh to see them and followed them to Misora Elementary on foot – walking.
As he arrived at the school, Murasaki saw Catherine, so he stopped to chase Monica and then walked to Catherine, greeted her and started to talk with her.
Monica stopped to run and saw them. She sighed, "Huh, Murasaki-kun tara… I think he really loves Cathy-chan."
"I see," Kirarin replied while she walked to Monica with Tsubomi, "Do you remember about what happened in the day after our kindergarten's entrance ceremony? After the rest time?"
"I remember it," said Monica, "That's why I know if he loves Cathy-chan. Do you smell something different from him today?"
"Well…" Kirarin thought for a minutes, then she asked Tsubomi, "Tsubomi-chan, does Murasaki-kun use your father's perfume?"
"Pinpon! You're right, Kira-chan," said Tsubomi, "and it's just because Murasaki-nii wants to meet Cathy-chan. Even, he had already changed his clothes when I woke up this morning, then I and my mother saw him while he used my father's perfume."
"Hn hn," Kirarin then concluded, "I think he'll express his love to her today."
"Really?" said Monica, "I'm not sure."
"Okay," replied Kirarin, "We'll see it."
They then walked to Murasaki and Catherine and talked about their class distribution, as it always changed every two years. They found out that all of them were in the same class, in 3-2.
In the Japanese class, Murasaki felt so bored. He took a book about soccer and put it in his textbook. He read it.
Suddenly, Yuri-sensei, his homeroom teacher, called him to read the textbook. Murasaki then asked Kirarin about the page.
"Page five," Kirarin whispered.
Murasaki opened his soccer book, and was so confused that the book had page v – five in Roman letters – and page 5 – in usual number.
"Kira-chan, page v or page five?" asked Murasaki.
Their other classmates laughed, while Yuri-sensei said, "There isn't page v in the textbook, Murasaki."
"Well, uh yes, Yuri-sensei. I'm just kidding," he quickly put the soccer book into his backpack, then opened the textbook and read the right page.
In the rest time, Murasaki went to the soccer field with his other boy classmates. They were playing soccer.
Tsubomi, Kirarin, Monica and Catherine decided to saw the boys there.
After sat down there for a minutes, Catherine walked into their class. Kirarin asked her, "Where are you going, Cathy-chan?"
"Well, I want to check my course's schedule in our class."
"Uh, okay."
After Catherine was gone from there, Monica asked, "Kira-chan, Tsubomi-chan, do you both know, actually, what will she do in our class?"
"Checks her course's schedule," said Tsubomi.
"Really? I don't think so."
"So? What do you think about it?" asked Kirarin.
"I think…" Monica continued her words by whispering it to Tsubomi and Kirarin.
Kirarin was a bit shocked to hear Monica's answer while Tsubomi smiled, as if she agreed with what Monica's said about Catherine. Kirarin said, "Moni-chan, are you sure?"
"I'm so sure. I see that they're loving at each other."
"Okay," Kirarin sighed, "Maybe you're right."
.O.
"Tadaima!"
"Ah, Murasaki-kun, Tsubomi-chan, okaeri!"
The twins walked into the dining room, where Doremi prepared some cookies and two box of milk for them.
"You both must be so tired now, after school, so I decide to make some cookies for you both."
"Demo okasan, do you make it too for otousan?" asked Murasaki, "You know that he likes your handmade cookies so much, right?"
"Daijoubu yo, Murasaki-kun. I also make some for him," said her, "So, how about your class? Are both of you in the same class?"
"Yeah, we both are in 3-2," said Tsubomi.
"Really? Just like me and your father," she remembered, "We both also were in 3-2."
"But in that time, otousan teased your name. Right, okasan?" said Murasaki.
Doremi nodded, "He changed it, just because I was so clumsy in that time."
"Wow, how rude he was! No wonder if you were angry with him," commented Tsubomi.
Murasaki added, "But then, okasan, otousan must be have ever done something good for you, right?"
"Uh-huh," she nodded, "Do you both remember my story about… Maho-dou?"
"Of course I remember. It's really a good story," said Tsubomi, "So?"
"Your father liked to buy everything which I made there, although it had a weird shape as I wasn't professional for that things," she smiled, "In the third grade, he bought my clay, then in the fifth grade, he bought my handmade cookies."
"Well, speaking of the cookies, can we eat our cookies now?" asked Murasaki while he drolled to see the cookies on the plate.
"Sure. Of course you can, Murasaki-kun, Tsubomi-chan."
"Okay," each of the twins took a piece of cookies, "Itadakimasu!"
When they bited their own cookies, their mom asked, "So, how about your first day in your class? Are you both enjoy it?"
"Yes," Tsubomi nodded, "Best for Murasaki-nii because his love is our classmate."
"Tsubomi!" shouted Murasaki.
"Oh, I get it. The one who makes you wanted to borrow your father's perfume," Doremi concluded, "Right, Murasaki-kun?"
"Uh, well… yeah," Murasaki said, nervously, "She's there with us."
"Then, have you already say your feeling to her?"
"Uh, no, okasan. I wanted to, but I can't. I feel so shy."
"Well, it's okay, Murasaki-kun. I understand," said Doremi, "Love is so complicated for a young boy like you."
She asked again, "Then, how about your homeroom teacher?"
"She's Yuri-sensei," answered Tsubomi.
"Nice name. Is she… vicious?"
"Just a bit," said Murasaki, "How about you, okasan? Who was your homeroom teacher in the third grade?"
"Her name is Seki-sensei, and she was a good teacher. Well, although she was so vicious, she always cares with all of her students," she explained, "You know? She was my homeroom teacher in my last four years in elementary school."
"Really? That's great!" Tsubomi took one more cookies from the plate, "Did she ever reprimand you or punish you in that time?"
"Actually, she often did it to me, as I often made some faults because of my careless, but beside that, she could make us, as her students, to become comfort everytime we were with her."
"Can I meet her someday?" asked Tsubomi.
"I don't know. I never meet her anymore since my wedding with your father."
"It means… she doesn't know about me and Murasaki-nii…"
"Well, that's right."
Murasaki ate his last cookies, "I want to take a rest in my room."
"Me too," said Tsubomi.
"Okay, I understand," their mother smiled, "Have a good rest."
They nodded, then walked out from the dining room, but before she walked upstairs and reached her room, Tsubomi called her mother, "Okasan."
"Yes?" replied her, "What's more, Tsubomi-chan?"
"Thanks for your story, and also… for the cookies and the milk."
"You and your brother need it."
Then, they walked into their own room.
Murasaki then remembered that he had a homework today, so he opened his backpack to take his book, but then he found another things. It was an envelope with a pink heart mark which sealed it. A love letter.
He took it and read it, then he smiled.
'Catherine loves me.'
Author's Note: For your information, Tonomi is Onpu and Tooru's son, and I'll describe about him in the next chapter (not exactly the next chapter, but I promise will write more about him later).
Next chapter will talk about another Ojamajo's child, so you just need to wait patiently for it, okay?
