"I have never been so bored in my entire life."

My name is Shinoya Yuki and now I am facing what has driven the entire human race out of their minds and caused many disasters to occur time and time again without incessant fail for sure... boredom. That's right, me, the girl with more than ten friends that are actually all sweet girls and usually an entire pointless fun plan in her sleeve almost at every possible moment... is bored of my mind.

"Meme, what do I do~!" she whined before pausing at the long stretched silence that occurred afterwards that was not (in the slightest) filled with Meme's prattling and her fairy going on and on about how they needed each other most so the black witch didn't have to worry any further and guess what, since they had the house all to themselves, they might as well go crazy and have a party to clean up with one magic spell before the parents got home... there was just one problem with that (fairly and admittedly awesome) idea.

I don't even know how it possibly happened and how I never predicted this happening even though I knew that someday it would, but alas...

Meme wasn't there either. She was alone. So, so alone.

"...Crap."

I never saw this coming... I mean, who would? I'm usually used to just having Doremi-chan asking if I can come over and it's always a blast going over to her place... for sure. I mean, watching her parents fight is really funny... her mom's just so awesome...

"I already did all my school projects and homework and I looked over them twice..." Shinoya's smile twitched as she started muttering angrily to herself. "Although knowing me, I'm still probably going to end up with an eighty percent... at least."

But no, apparently I can't even do that, with how great that'd be... I can't even do that! And I can't go to anyone else's houses... I can't even bother Onpu-onee-sama and that's just so unfair! Even the Mahou-Dou is closed today!

"ARGH! I AM SO BORED!" she screamed harshly at the ceiling, glaring at it as if expecting it to in the very least provide some form of entertainment. It took at least half a second for her to huff and roll over in disappointment. "What do I do~?"

I mean, what is there TO do? The letter game? Well, I could try that by myself... I'll see how much time this wastes...

"Word. Category is animals... Dinosaur, rhino, octopus, squid, dolphin, nightingale, elephant, tiger, rabbit, Tasmanian devil, leopard, Dalmatian, nightcrawler... Alright, now the category is food. This is so boring... Ramen, nut, teriyaki, ice cream, miso soup, poptart, tiramisu... udon... No... 'N' IS TOO HARD!"

With that, she flipped over and started crying in the bed right then and there, letting in every bit of pent up frustration and anger that she had at that very precise moment.

"WHY IS BEING BORED SO HARD?"

Dear my friend, everyday life, always with you

Dear my friend, everyday life, always with you

(Footage: We quickly pan into the Misora Junior High School as the girls all jump out, beaming brightly, Yuki waving once at the screen as they dash down the road and hearts and flower pedals fly past, forming the Ojamajo Doremi Tomo-DACHI logo as chibified girls jump joyfully into the air.)

Hanashite mo madamada tarinai mama

(Talking with you just isn't enough)

(Footage: Yuki parts the hair from her eyes just as she rushes forward and starts dashing down the pathway to the school, looking excited as her chocolate eyes glitter in pure happiness as she runs.)

Yuuyake ga machi o somete yuku

(The sunset has dyed the city bright red)

(Footage: The rest of the girls, mainly Doremi are seen waiting with their arms folded as she turns to see the black witch rushing up to greet them with a bright grin, and they all beam, flashing between each of the fellow witch apprentices.)

Omou you ni nakanaka ikanaitte

(Things never go the way I want them to)

(Footage: Meme is seen hopping through the store as a curious Poppu chases after her and picks her up, much to the black cat's chagrin as she begins squirming just as Majorika walked up along with a fairy-turned Lala, earning Poppu to just smile brightly as well.)

Kizuitara issho ni naite ita

(And when I finally realize it, we're both crying)

(Footage: Majoren sips at her tea and soon smiles when the four human-born wizards peer inside, all looking curious before there's a close up of Akio and Kazuki who smile tenderly at one another.)

Koi mo yume mo hana mo niji mo kaze mo

(Love, dreams, flowers, rainbows, along with the wind)

(Footage: There's a flash of Yuki grabbing onto Saiki's arm followed by more flashes of Doremi and Akatsuki laughing together, Moriko giving a flower to Tooru much to the chagrin of Onpu and Naoki and to the amusement of Kurumi, Akemi watching Hazuki and Fujio discussing something while oblivious to how Kazuo is watching her as well, and ending with Aiko knocking out a ball from a surprised Leon's grip as Momoko and Hana cheer, along with Akio and Kazuki.)

Zenbu tsukamou yo

(Let's seize every single one of them)

(Footage: All of the memories turn into little glowing orbs that Yuki gathers up as she grins brightly and beams with a wink, making an imaginary heart appear.)

Daijoubu genki dashite

(It'll be alright, just cheer up!)

(Footage: Yuki raises her majoshikon in the air and transforms, the rest of the Ojamajos joining her as they all salute and pose rather cheerfully.)

Watashi ga soba ni iru kara

(I'm here, right by your side)

(Footage: Doremi places an arm around Yuki's shoulder as the black witch smiles softly only for the two of them to be quickly tackled to the ground by Hana, earning the other witch apprentices to all just laugh.)

Kyou no MISS kuyamu yori ima norikoete

(Rather than crying over the mistakes of today, let's overcome them instead)

(Footage: Yuki is shown among the stars as the view pretty much jerks to a confused Saiki as she rushes up to him and jumps into his arms just as the screen pauses and goes in slow motion.)

Daijoubu mayowanaide

(It's alright, don't ever lose your path)

(Footage: The girls all pump their fists as the wizards join them, taking their respective counterpart's shoulder while Kurumi just hugs Poppu as she laughs.)

Mada minu mirai e to mukatte

(We're heading towards this unknown future...)

(Footage: We skip to a scene where they're all watching the sunrise and Yuki's hand tightens around Saiki's as they smile tenderly and lovingly at one another and they both lean forward as if about to kiss before the screen turns white.)

Zutto aruite yukou

(And we're always walking the entire way)

(Footage: Yuki perks up from her sleep, obviously having dreamed it up while napping on her desk as she glances up rather sleepily, seeing a confused Doremi and Kurumi as well as Akatsuki and Saiki appearing rather curious in the background, Saiki soon raising an eyebrow.)

Everyday life, always with you

(Footage: The black witch soon smiles tiredly and just laughs carefreely.)


Believe it or not, this chapter came from the idea of... boredom. I was too bored to come up with anything else and boredom is so hard and I'm so sadistic that I'm just going have Micky (Yuki) suffer through it for no real reason... I guess there is still the underlying lesson in all of this, but who knows?

Either way, it's a chapter of randomness and maybe heartwarming moments... maybe.

But isn't that what this entire story is about with the randomness, heartwarming, friendship, romance, and blah, blah, blah? I suppose... Either way... enjoy your chapter because this is the second to last one~!

Ooh, another cleaning song! "New Future" by myco... It's really nice and a really good song! Especially at the ending of Full Moon O Sagashite...

Also, concerning Ojamajo Doremi 16... This story is completely fanon and there's nothing you can do about it. I'm just going to enjoy this while I can despite how infrequent updates may be. Feel free to stay or not. AkaDore is still my favorite pairing regardless. Now I'm done being redundant for now.


Ojamajo Doremi Tomo-DACHI:

Lessons in Friendship –

Yuki's Number One Boring Lonely Day

Lesson: I suppose that in order to make friends, you have to learn how to be entertaining at least and there's many ways in doing all of that... but above all, you have to be able to at least entertain yourself! That's not too hard of a thing to do, is it? Well it just might be...

"YUKI~! MEME HAS JUST THE WORST NEWS THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE AND MEME IS JUST SO SORRY BUT IT JUST HAS TO BE DONE... DON'T HATE ME~!"

"Eh? What do you mean by that, Meme?"

Meme was in tears, crying constantly and worrying Yuki a great deal, but confusing her even more with her fairy's just plain erratic behavior that was more than just a little strange in her opinion. "I-I... Meme is leaving with Lala-san and Majorika-san to be doing business in the Majokai! Meme didn't want to go, but Lala-san insisted and she'd said it would be fine and... and... GOD YUKI, I'M SO SORRY!"

With that, the premature fairy wailed and launched herself at her lost as hell owner's head, burying her face and gripping golden locks as if it was for dear life. "Don't hate me... please don't hate me... Please, please, please don't hate me...!"

"Meme, it's fine. I'm not really as angry as you think and besides, it might be good for you right? Isn't that what Lala says?" Reaching up to pat her still crying fairy's back, stroking with her forefinger as a somewhat exasperated smile pulled at her lips. "Relax; it's not as bad as you would think that it is, Meme... Honestly. I just want you to be a good little fairy for me, alright Meme dearest?"

Sniffling loudly, Meme nodded in her owner's hair. "M-Meme promises..."

"That's a good girl..."

"Yuki-chan, you really are taking this a lot better than I thought that you would... considering Meme-chan is going to be with Majorika and I all day tomorrow," Lala chirped rather happily, unaware of how Shinoya suddenly froze, taking Meme quickly and crushing her into her chest. "It's going to be a long day, too... You probably won't see her until midnight!"

"...Tomorrow's Friday... and... we don't have school..." the black witch began rather dumbly, paling just a bit in color. "And, if you and Majorika are going to be gone all day then that also means that..."

"Yes, there will be no need to any of you girls to come to the Mahou-Dou and I'm going to lock it up as well so there will be no point in actually showing up and that's just that," Majorika grumbled as she fastened on her cape around her witch sphere with a slight sigh. "That's not a problem, is it, Yuki?"

"..."

"...?"

"..."

"...Yuki?"

"THAT'S TOO LONG!" she wailed, holding onto Meme even tighter. "I-I change my mind, Meme! Don't go... I don't want you to go~! It'll be way too long and way too lonely and I don't want to be all alone!"

"Ooh Yuki, I'm so sorry...! B-But... hic... It's for the best! I must go but I promise that I will always think of you...!"

"OH MEME!"

"OH YUKI!"

The two started crying together and Lala got teary at the sight. "I-It's so touching... They really do care about each other huh, Majorika?"

Majorika simply face palmed. "The world would blow up if the two of them were anymore alike."


"So, since we're not going to the Mahou-Dou or having school, I Shinoya Yuki, propose a super fun extra amazing girl time adventure to completely waste the day away!"

"...I can't go." Onpu instantly stated as she smiled sadly. "Both Kurumi-chan and I will be caught up in our jobs all day so it can't be helped... I'm sorry, Yuki-chan... I really didn't mean to completely skip out but I've been getting behind and this little break may allow me to finally get everything around and back on track right away as it should be."

The black witch instantly faltered, sighing a bit heavily. "Aw, but Onpu-onee-sama... and I guess my presence there if I followed you would only be a burden, wouldn't it? I'm sorry, I'll morally support you though in spirit the entire way if it's all for you, you know~!'

Before Segawa could answer, Kurumi stepped in, kissing both her cheeks and grinning widely. "Merci, mon ami. Though it makes me a little sad that you'd support Onpu-chan all the way and not me... if it makes you feel any better, I'll be thinking of you while working with Kyoko-chan the entire time! Ah, Rinaru-san would just be so proud..."

"Yeah, uh... Kyoumi-chan really likes her stepsister after all so I suppose that it can't be helped, right...? And uh, Kurumi-chan, whether that be French, Italian, German, or any sort of European, don't do that ever again. It's weird and it makes me feel a lot younger than I really am... and I'm pretty young you know... I'm not even in high school or engaged or even sixteen...!" With that, Shinoya laughed nervously, rubbing at the back of her neck in embarrassment as the gray witch merely beamed. "I-I mean, you may be loads more mature, but still... You're only thirteen..."

"True, true, true," the child model sang as she poked the blonde's nose playfully with a wink, imaginary hearts floating about. "But how old would that make you, mon ami?"

"Whatever age I am... nothing changes the fact that I am still a girl..."

"Yuki-chan, you're a nut with nothing going for her in life because you're just that stupid... It's a good thing that we're friends, right?" Moriko grinned widely, much to Yuki's chagrin as she skipped up and poked the younger girl's cheek. "I mean, honestly... Don't you ever think once or twice about your own actions or is your brain that out of whack that you can't really do anything right?"

"Sometimes, I can't see if you're being brutally honest and serious or if you're just playing around with me, Moriko-chan. For my being a so-called friend, you sure do love talking smack... It makes me wonder how you act towards people you dislike... like... I don't know... Naoki-kun?"

"For pure (and not adorable like you or Akemi-chan in the slightest) idiots like him, it's much more vocal abuse, a lot less smiles, and maybe a few physical causalities every single time that lowlife tries to put his hand somewhere where it doesn't belong!" Takahashi snickered though her smile soon died off her face as she growled, clearly and honestly truly displeased about the unwanted advances that the green-eyed boy constantly threw at her despite how really annoying it was. "I swear, he's worse than that Hakuta guy always making moves on my Akemi-chan and that's bad enough as it is the more you think about it... Still, better me than Akemi-chan though that doesn't necessarily mean that I have to be pleasant about it..."

"Moriko-chan, you scare me," Yuki answered bluntly as Akemi blushed horridly, intervening and grabbing the green witch's arm. "Though I think you may be worrying Akemi-chan quite a bit with claims like that..."

"It does more than just worry me... Moriko-chan, you can't be violent on school grounds! A teacher could catch you, send you to the principal and if it's bad enough, you could get expelled and do you have any idea how much trouble that would cause? I don't want them to expel you, Moriko-chan...!"

"Don't worry, Akemi-chan... I don't hit him or anything like that... I just twist his arm around until he cries out and Tanpopo-chan and Yue-chan already told me off for that... thankfully, as well, he's been avoiding me like the plague lately, so I think we won't have to worry about that for a while..."

The black witch instantly felt a sting of pity for Nakamura at that, her eye twitching.

Someday... I think I'm going to buy Naoki-kun a pity cake... If Saiki-kun treated me the way Moriko-chan treated him, I think that I would probably just die and become one of those creepy little ghost girls that just cry out 'love me' or whatever! Actually... I think that I might as well try it now... I'm going to say it in English...!

"La... Lo... Lava he!" Yuki chirped cheerily, much to the other girls before turning blank and trying again. "Ro... Ra... Love me?"

"Oh! I love you, Yuki-chan! Don't worry!" Momoko exclaimed in English as well, earning Onpu to just giggle at the sheer random sense of cuteness. "Unfortunately though... those plans you were talking about? Mama and I were going to do something together that day so I can't go..."

"Oh yes, my okaa-chan's goin' to need my help tomorrow too an' I said that I would volunteer! That ain't a problem, right?" Aiko grinned a bit apologetically. "I'm sorry Yuki-chan, but it just can't be helped, ya know?"

"W-What? But Ai-chan... Ooh... If it's your mothers that need help then I guess it just can't be helped... So I can't be mad at you or Momo-chan, that's for sure..."

"Yuki-mama, Hana-chan's sorry~!" Hana exclaimed as she hugged the black witch tightly, sniffling. "H-Hana-chan has special work with Majoheart-san tomorrow so she can't go~! Hana-chan wants to go, really, but Hana-chan just can't let down Majoheart-san, right? Sorry Yuki~!"

"E-Eh? Hana-chan, you too...? O-Okay, who here doesn't have an excuse to miss spending a fun, fun day with me?"

Every single girl squirmed and shuffled their feet nervously and the black witch's eyes slowly widened.

"No way... I can't be the only one without any plans..."

"Mama has my entire day tied with shopping, classes that I have to take, and... I'm just too busy..." Hazuki nervously gripped her glasses, looking away from the blond with a truly rueful expression on her face. "I'm sorry, Yuki-chan, but it just can't be helped, you know..."

"The thing is, otou-san wanted to take Poppu and I fishing all morning and then Poppu has a really long piano thing in the afternoon... I... I can't really do much of anything about it..." Doremi laughed tensely. "I'm so sorry, Yuki-chan... maybe some other day...?"

"Moriko-chan, Akemi-chan... you two as well then...?" Yuki asked weakly, hand shaking just a bit. "What could possibly be going on with you two...?"

"I... I have a recital this Sunday so I'm spending the entire day practicing... The truth is, I want to be amazing since, uh... M-My... Daisuke-nii-san's coming to this one! I can't let him down or disappoint nii-san, Yuki-chan! I'm sorry, but I just can't!" Akemi exclaimed quickly, face redder than that of a fire truck and fists shaking. "B-Believe me, I'd love to go... I really would... but this is just too important to me..."

"Same here, well... I'm not going to be practicing... I guess you can say I'll be shopping in the market. My father's coming home to eat tonight and he hardly ever does that... worst of all, he is just so impossibly and severely malnourished and has such picky tastes! That old man's nothing but trouble, and I'm just pretty positive that it'll take me all day to buy all the proper ingredients for a decent meal," Moriko huffed, waving her hand about. "Believe me, I'd love a day of break, but this is a big deal to me... I can't leave this sort of thing to just Kasumi-san alone... she's still not quite sure what otou-san likes after all..."

"I-I see... Well, family always comes first... at least, it's supposed to when it's the right thing... I-I guess that I'll just stay home with okaa-sama that day then! E-Even though otou-sama's going to be working the entire day like he always does..." Shinoya laughed brightly, earning the rest of the girls to just smile. "I'll be fine, no need to worry..."

...What a total lie.


"Yuki-san, can I speak to you... oh, where's Meme?"

"She's, uh... at the Mahou-dou... the owner wanted to take care of it because she really gets along with her cat... and then she wanted to bring Meme to her daughter and told me how her cat died and I just, um... I didn't want to let her down, so..."

"...Oh. That's very sweet of you," Ayaka smiled warmly at her foster daughter, earning the blond to shuffle her feet. "Listen, tomorrow... I... I can't be home. So are you alright alone or do you want me to call a friend to pick you up?"

None of my friends even HAVE any time for me tomorrow, okaa-sama! I know that may be hard to believe but it's the sad, sad truth... Doremi-chan has nothing on me! I'm definitely, DEFINITELY the unluckiest pretty witch apprentice in the world! For sure! Yuki thought furiously while the inner black witch flailed her arms about in complaint as she quickly smiled brightly, eager to show that absolutely nothing was wrong and that nothing ever would be wrong... for sure. "Actually, okaa-sama, time alone sounds wonderful! I'm really tired so I think that an entire day of nothing but rest and... more rest would be great! Don't worry because I am totally super fine with it! Yeah, there is never anything to worry about with me because, you know, I'm always super ultra happy girl, right?"

Yes, she was twitching every so often and even Shinoya Ayaka could see it as she faltered, instantly grabbing her phone. "Maybe I could call someone here to watch over you while I'm gone so you won't be all alone here..."

"Okaa-sama, don't! I'm way too old for a babysitter and you should know that!" the black witch quickly exclaimed, waving her hands about in a mess. "I-I mean, yeah, I'm not really crazy about being all by myself but I don't need a babysitter! It's fine, really! Doremi-chan and the others are all busy tomorrow anyway... all my friends are, as a matter of fact! So there's really nothing I can do about it... other than just be alone... all by myself... in this big empty house..."

Somehow, her foster mother just looked more worried. "What about one of your other classmates? I mean, I've talked to your teacher and she tells me you get along very well with a girl named Akiyama... and another one named Tsukino... And Shizuka..."

"Serika-chan? Um, no that would be a little awkward, I mean... I love Serika-chan like that but... what would there be to talk about?" Never mind the fact that Akiyama Serika didn't speak in the first place... She was quiet and didn't do much of anything, so it was completely fine to have onesided conversations with her... those were really the only kind of conversation that you could have with her.

Yuki didn't mind that. Really. It was just... she didn't like troubling others. Serika especially.

And Tsukino Kotone.

Not to mention Shizuka Rika as well.

"K-Kotone-chan and Rika-chan are both very busy girls as well and I don't want to bother them... It's fine, okaa-sama, really! Don't worry about it, okay?"

"If you say so..." Ayaka sighed as she placed the phone back into her purse, leaning down and ruffling her daughter's blond hair. "But if there's anything that you need... anything at all... feel free to call me, alright, Yuki-san? You know my number, don't you?"

"Yes. I have both yours and otou-sama's number memorized so there's nothing to worry about."

The black-haired woman just laughed.

"For some reason, you saying that makes me worry even more, Yuki-san."


"And let the super boring lonely day begin," Yuki sighed as she sat down on the couch and clicked on the television with the remote, her lips pursing into a pout. "I can't believe it... an entire day of nothing and not even any friends to play with... At least I have some DVDs and video games to play, but the truth is I've already done all that... I want something new and something that I haven't even thought of yet!"

The news clicked on and the black witch already felt like falling asleep.

"Oh man..." She changed it to the weather, then some talk show, then some commercial for a shampoo or something, then the food network that she kept for a while for the sake of ogling the fine cakes, then some jewelry network, then some documentary, and finally...

"THERE'S NOTHING ON HERE WORTH KEEPING ON THAT WON'T MAKE ME HUNGRY!" she wailed, shutting off the television and falling backwards onto the couch. "A-And Battle Rangers won't be on until six... post meridian! Also, Onpu-onee-sama's network isn't on today, all the movies are sad pointless ones that make me cry with how much their characters' lives just plain suck... Why can't this just be an easier day to waste and completely go by without me realizing it? I mean, if I fall asleep now, I won't be able to sleep until midnight tonight...! It's just impossible for me, it seems..."

The black witch sighed as she started at the ceiling in thought.

Then again, being alone should be something that I'm used to... and... when exactly did I start taking everyone and everything for granted so easily? I guess that just because I appeared to have it all, it didn't necessarily mean that... they would always be there whenever I wanted them to be...

"And I'm going to be alone again eventually, aren't I? So shouldn't this not even be an issue right now?" she wondered aloud for good measure as she pushed herself up to her knees, sighing lightly as she did, tracing shapes in the couch cushions. "I wonder why I don't feel as good about this as I should... I mean, I'm all about doing things early, right?"

Or is it because I know that I'll see everyone again and we'll all go back to being happy fun, fun friends tomorrow...? It's a short-lived loneliness for now and that's probably my issue I guess... But it's still a pretty stupid issue...

"I'm just so bored..."

That's when an idea struck her like an arrow, earning her to shoot up with a wide grin on her face. "That's right! Since no one else is here, there's nothing keeping me from spending the entire day with Saiki-kun! THAT'S IT! I'll just spend the entire day with Saiki-kun and this will go from being my number one boring lonely day to my number one romantic happy day~! I'M SUCH A GENIUS!"

...She was best to just keep telling herself that.


Yuki hummed happily as she skipped up to the household of the FLATS 5, giggling as she got to the door step and took a deep breath. An entire day with Saiki-kun... an entire day with Saiki-kun... an entire day with Saiki-kun... h-here I go~! Saiki-kun~!

She knocked on the door, quickly pulling her hand back over her heart, which was currently pounding against her chest in excitement and expectation.

The black witch waited for a few minutes. Her smile faltered in confusion when no one answered the door in the said few minutes.

Is something wrong...? Normally someone would answer the door by now... This sure is strange, so... no, no, no, focus! Saiki-kun and the others probably overslept or something! That's perfectly normal, Shinoya, so don't you dare start getting all paranoid on me! Just, uh... I'll just knock again!

The blond knocked again, this time a bit harder, and waited some more.

...There was still nothing.

"Saiki-kun? Hey, is anyone home?" she shouted at the door before banging on it some more and then ringing the doorbell a few times for good measure before folding her arms and tapping her foot impatiently.

Sleepily, Alexander T. Oyajide finally opened the door, yawning. "Alright? Who are you and what could you possibly want this early in the morning?"

"...Huh?" Yuki wondered in confusion as the purple wizard perked up, his crimson eyes shooting wide in instant fear and horror at the sight of the Shinoya girl before slamming the door shut, startling and (well, to be honest) downright insulting her. "HEY! OYAJIDE-BAKA-SAN, WHAT THE HELL? LET ME IN, YOU OLD PERVERT!"

"T-The brats are doing work in the Mahoutsukaikai today, Yuki-chan... Leave me alone and please don't kill me!" he exclaimed from behind the door, pushing against it with all his strength so that the petite blond wouldn't force her way through. "T-There is no real reason now for you to come here, so I want you to just please leave! I'm not in the mood for getting physically beaten by you, you angel-faced devil!"

The black witch stopped in her surprise, visibly slumping as she heard the news. "Saiki-kun and the others aren't here?"

"They're not here today! Come again tomorrow when I'm not here!"

"No way..." She muttered sadly and disappointedly before turning around and heading back into the opposite direction, head bowed. "I guess then that I just came all this way out here for nothing after all... My mistake..."

Oyajide opened the door just a peek to see the black witch walking away and sighed in relief before shutting the door again and sliding down to the floor. "I managed to get through the day without being crippled... Yuki-chan really is much too violent for her own good..."

I swear; she really needs to be more like a normal happy girl... She'd be a lot better that way...


"So... what now?"

Glancing up at the birds circling above her as she sat on a bench, the blond just sighed heavily before balancing her head in her hands, elbows pressing into her knees. "This is just insane... So many people unavailable for one day... what's up with that? This just isn't cool..."

I guess I really do need to get used to the idea of being alone... Oh well, I guess that it just can't be helped... One super boring lonely day of hell, here I come...

"Yuki-chan, Yuki-chan! H-Hey~! Hey!"

The black witch instantly perked up in confusion as she turned to the side, spotting Kazuki running up to her waving with a wide grin stamped on his face.

"Hey, you've lived in Misora for a while right? Do you know any good hiding places that Kazuo-kun would never ever go to even if his life depended on it?" he asked happily, face flushed from how hard he must have been laughing. "I... I might have gone a little far this time, but I'm not going to apologize until he catches me... and I want to make that as difficult as possible for him!"

Yuki wasn't even going to ask him what he had done to the glasses-wearing wizard and she gulped, tapping her chin in thought. "My sense of direction is awful but I think there's a construction site not too far away from here that's just too dangerous for people to go to and... wait, that's a bad idea! Don't go there! You could get hurt!"

But Sasaki was already sprinting. "Don't worry! I live for the thrill! You just don't get exciting dangerous fun like this every single day... It's like... skydiving! Skydiving is so much fun!"

And Shinoya was pretty much perturbed.

Just how reckless is he? And I get queasy that high up if I don't have a broom to use! It's like he's addicted to adrenaline rush... Ooh, this is bad... really bad... Majoren will be devastated if that idiot gets himself injured, severely injured or...

She gulped, already thinking of the funeral with everyone in depressingly dark clothes and crying.

...or if he gets killed?

"Oh, Yuki-chan, is that you?" Kazuo's voice asked behind her as the black witch turned to him with teary eyes and a shocked look on her face, worrying him a bit. "What... Uh, what happened? You wouldn't have happened to seen Kazuki-kun recently, have you? He's making things difficult for me again, so..."

"I THINK I KILLED HIM WITH MY IDEAS!" she wailed out loud before covering her face with a high-pitched whine. "I-I'm... I'm such a terrible person...! And it's in more ways than one... JUST CONVICT ME NOW FOR MANSLAUGHTER!"

Hakuta just stood there like an idiot as the dramatic blond threw herself to his feet, hugging his legs, and whimpering.

...I never should have even gotten up today...

(Eyecatch: Yuki is seen fiddling with all sorts of cards, and the Ojamajos soon look behind her as she pulls up a card, and they all look rather exasperated as Yuki laughs nervously and rubs at the back of her head. The card reveals to be an image of Shinoya posing with her giant hammer, winking and shooting a victory sign with her free hand.)

"Kazuki-kun, ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Kazuo exclaimed in pure horror as they finally caught up to the navy-haired wizard who was currently waving at them from sitting atop a (at least two or three stories high) steel frame. Hakuta pretty much forgot all his anger at that point and he was fairly close to hyperventilating right now, already imagining the chipper Sasaki boy as a flat mess on the concrete once he fell.

How Yoshida Akio was able to handle him so well was to forever remain a mystery no matter what happened and that was something that the silver-haired human-born wizard was absolutely sure about.

But he was also sure that even someone as calm as Akio was sure to have a heart attack if he ever saw Kazuki in this sort of predicament.

He didn't even like the kid that much and he was practically freaking out at this point. Yuki was even looking a bit woozy at the sight and she didn't even know him that well.

"That's dangerous!" Kazuo finally exclaimed, earning Kazuki to just smile widely and point to his wrist where he was wearing a black sweatband, earning Hakuta to perk up in surprise before shaking his head. "NO! Just because you can use magic now, it doesn't make it any less dangerous, you idiot!"

"...Huh?" Shinoya wondered, halting feeling just sick with worry at that point as Kazuo sighed rather heavily. "Wait, so you guys use magic with...?"

"Oh, Kazuo-kun, I beg to differ..." Sasaki laughed as he jumped off the freaking steel frame. "Here I go!"

"KAZUKI-KUN!" Hakuta screamed in horror just as Yuki snapped up and instantly ripped her majoshikon from her brooch.

"Ojamajo Yuki, change!"

Kazuki, while freefalling, perked up at the sight of the blond performing her usual transformation, hair becoming long, black, and a spring green ponytail holder materializing at the bottom as if preventing it from just going everywhere.

"Puriti Wichi Yuki-chi!" she exclaimed, spinning around and shooting a peace sign with a wink as her pose before quickly clapping her hands, materializing the mini majoshikons on her wrists.

"Pururunu pikapikan chanchii! Save Kazuki-kun right away from that fall!"

Almost instantly, a black bubble swallowed up the navy-haired wizard and deposited him safely seated on the ground, much to his confusion and disappointment even as she and Kazuo quickly rushed up to him.

"Y-You... You incorrigible... unbelievable... careless... pint..." the silver-haired wizard gasped as he soon yanked Kazuki up by his shirt collar, flushed and downright furious. "What... the hell... were you thinking? O-Oh, lord... don't ever do that again... I don't care if you really like that sort of just plain heart-wrenching excitement, don't you ever do that again, Kazuki-kun... do you understand me?"

"I would have been fine... I was going to use Majoren-san's magic at the last minute, so..."

"THAT'S NO EXCUSE! Do you have any idea what would have happened if you were too late in using magic? At least Yuki-chan used a spell early so I didn't have to worry... but still... what if she hadn't told me? What if she wasn't here? What if you were too late?"

The light shining in Hakuta's glasses obscured his gaze and his teeth were clenched. Kazuki faltered, noticing this wasn't like the petty anger over trivial matters that he so loved teasing the older boy about.

"...Kazuo-kun... I'm sorry."

"...Idiot." Kazuo finally sighed, deflated as he patted the younger youth on the head, shaking his head. "What will we ever do without you? What will you ever do without us?"

Sasaki remained silent, bowing his head in shame, cheeks flushing.

I had forgotten... what it's like to be cared about by someone other than Akio-kun...

"KAZUKI-KUN, YOU ARE AN IDIOT!" Yuki had screamed as she tackled the boy in a tight hug, much to the surprise of the two wizards... since they had pretty much forgotten that she was still there... not like it was their fault though. "I-I... I was scared to death, moron, and Majoren would have died from shock and fear if she had seen such a stupid display! I mean... I ought to strangle you, beat you with my hammer... THAT'LL teach you about looking for danger in the worst possible places!"

"Uh... Don't worry, Yuki-chan, I won't do it anymore, I swear..."

"I-I... Kazuki-kun... Even Hana-chan would have started crying..."

Really... It's not that fair... I was really bored but this wasn't the kind of excitement that I was looking for at all... Just not at all!

Kazuki hesitated at that and just laughed. Shinoya glared at him, eyes watery and almost positively livid.

"Don't laugh! It's not funny...! Do you have any idea how horrifying it was for me to watch? And imagine what it would have been like for your friend Kazuo-kun here!"

Sasaki glanced towards at Hakuta who was now turned away, subtly swiping at his eyes and then his smile completely died. There wasn't a single shadow of a doubt in his mind now that he probably traumatized the other boy with his careless actions.

"Come on..." he finally stated, turning to the blond and ruffling her sunny hair, faintly recalling how fraught the glasses-wearing youth's hand was when it ran through his own navy spikes, weakly grinning. "We need to get home... how about I have Akio-kun treat you to food for my major screw up?"

"I'm going to ask Akio-kun what we're having tonight and he's going to grant my request," Kazuo finally growled, stomping away and off. "And there's not a damn thing you can do about it, Kazuki-kun."

Sasaki nodded and turned to Yuki with his usual smile. "Don't worry... He has good taste."

Shinoya just blinked, unsure of whether she should laugh or just hit him now.


"Yo, Kazuo-kun! You were supposed to come back with Kazuki-kun and you returned with Kazuki-kun AND Yuki-chan! How do you do it, you lucky dog? Is it the glasses?" Naoki laughed as he instantly wrapped an arm around Hakuta's shoulders before faltering when the youth flinched under his arm. "What happened? Did you fall into a ditch?"

A fake laugh escaped Kazuo's lips. "Funny of you to mention falling..."

"Kazuki-kun, what'd you do?" Akio asked as he walked in, looking a little curious. "Kazuo-kun's never that shaken up unless you've done something incredibly stupid and... oh, hello, Yuki-chan. It's strange to just have you randomly visit us without telling anyone... but it's not that it's an issue but Majoren-san's out in the Majokai today and instructed us to take care of the house... I'm about to make something for us to all eat, and maybe you can join us..."

"We're having sashimi," Kazuo stated out loud, much to Yoshida's surprise.

"Um... okay... Any objections?"

"Just add vegetables and some green and all will be well." Nakamura added with a laugh. "I like the color green, whether it be food or on a girl..."

He doesn't hesitate to mention his crush on Moriko-chan on every given moment... I guess she must find that pretty annoying... I find it a little exasperating... but it's endearing too, since he's making it hard to doubt that those feelings for her are real... That or he just loves flaunting his crush around... I suppose. It all depends...

"Kazuki-kun, don't you have anything to say to that? You usually decide the meals..." Akio began a bit awkwardly as Kazuki simply shrugged.

"Nah. I jumped off a steel frame so I owe him for scaring the living daylights out of him."

Silence.

Both Yoshida and Nakamura stared at him, the former was blank-faced while the latter looked utterly shocked. It took a while before Akio took a deep breath and then whacked Sasaki with a wooden spoon.

"Idiot." He sighed before walking back to the kitchen, earning Kazuki to just frown rather sadly.

"Huh... I really did screw up worst than I thought I did before..."

Naoki cleared his throat before patting Kazuo's back casually. "Well, at least he's not a pancake, right? Right, Kazuo-kun?"

"...I suppose..."

"Why... Why is everyone getting depressed again already? You guys are supposed to be taking care of Majoren's house, right? And you boys call this a decent house? It's a mess!" Yuki exclaimed in annoyance before rushing up and putting her hands on her hips. "Do I have to put on a cleaning song to get you all to work?"

"...cleaning song?"

"...I'll take that as a yes," the black witch sighed as she rushed to a nearby radio and turned it out, turning to the boys with a wide grin. "Music makes everything better."

tatta hitosu kawaranai mono

(There's one thing there never will change)

"Is she always like this?" Naoki wondered just as Kazuo adjusted his glasses with a rather awkward cough.

"W-Well..."

"Get to work, you both need to!" Yuki stated as she became pushing both of them. "Let's get this place spotless while Akio-kun works, no questions asked!"

"But!"

"Ah, Yuki-chan..."

"No questions asked!"

zutto egaiteta yume

(It's a dream that I'm always imagining)

Kazuki just laughed and slipped of his wristband, placing it on the table as Yuki perked up in confusion before he grabbed a washcloth.

"Alright, I'm doing the windows!"

"No, you're doing the sweeping," Kazuo immediately interjecting, swiping the cloth away and turning with a growl, only making Sasaki grin further and give him a mock salute.

"Whatever you say, captain,"

ima no jibun ha dou utsuru no

(The 'me' of right now, could I possible reflect...?)

"Those two shouldn't go ahead and start arguing again right away when we're all trying to work together... I bet it's really annoying for everyone," the black witch stated with a sigh as she grabbed a broom, only for Naoki to take it away.

"Sweeping's also my duty... but since Akio-kun's doing the meal, I suppose you want to be useful too..."

"At least give me something to do... guest or not, I want to help Majoren with everything that I am capable of performing!" Shinoya complained, hands on hips. "Don't look down on me just because I'm a girl."

Nakamura grinned. "Believe me, after meeting Moriko-chan, I'm not going to look down on a girl ever again..."

ano koro no chiisana hitomi ni

(All those days with these small eyes of mine?)

Yuki blinked.

"Well, I suppose that's a good thing for you and Moriko-chan then... but it doesn't really change anything."

The green-haired wizard merely laughed at that. "Is that so, Yuki-chan?"

nee miagete konna ni hiroi yozora dakara

(Hey, look up, the sky is just so wide and vast you know)

"I-It's beside the point...!" she exclaimed before grabbing his broom again. "You know what, I realized how little I care about what you tell me to do and I'm just going to clean my own way! This isn't even your house and you have no idea just how bored I really am!"

With that she started sweeping, much to Nakamura's amusement as he cupped his face in slight fascination, watching the blond focus heavily on her work even though it was completely unnecessary all the same.

She wasn't as stubborn as a certain Takahashi Moriko and he couldn't help but wonder just how many people she drove crazy with that petulant attitude of hers whenever she wasn't getting what she wanted.

"Alright," he finally stated, throwing his head back with a loud laugh. "I can handle this! I'll do something else after all..."

With that, Naoki skipped off, earning Yuki to finally stare at him as he headed down the halls and tightened her fingers on the broom just a little bit.

sou sugu ni wakaru you ni

(So... so very soon... that I can understand)

"I'm very grateful for you to be spending all your time here, Yuki-chan," Akio stated as he held the fish still and started chopping in sharp, precise movements like one of those sushi chef professionals that the black witch had seen quite a few times on television. "I hope you don't mind the fish though... I honestly thought we were having nikujaga today... I didn't expect to have to bring the fish out..."

"You eat fish meat the most in Japan though, don't you? In America, there were a lot of beef products... Hamburgers and roast... I wonder if I can still get that over here..." The black witch started in confusion as she wiped off the table until she could see her reflection. "It sounds really good right about now..."

"How long have you been in Japan anyway? You're always talking about the United States like you were there just yesterday... Do you still remember what it's like over there? Momo-chan talks about it, and New York sounds like a really crowded place..."

"I-I... I lived in most of the southern states, though we stayed in Texas for quite a while and then moved to California with my okaa-sama's friend, Ange-san... I made a lot of friends but actually... I... I haven't been in the United States since I was like, maybe six..." Blushing heavily, she tugged a bit at her blond curl. "It's been a while though, that's for sure..."

seiippai kagayaku kara hayaku

(With all I got, I need to hurry and shine)

"That does sound like a long time ago... Sheesh... I wasn't even with Majoren-san so long ago, you know... but I did know Kazuki-kun back then... I can't believe we've been friends for so long... it's almost just plain surreal now that I think about it," Yoshida murmured as he washed a new already skinned fish meat that hadn't been cut yet under warm water, sighing. "I have to admit though... it's impressive that you still remember so well even though it's been so long..."

"Huh?"

The blond instantly snapped up at that and waved her hands quickly, blushing quite darkly. "Oh, I... I... I just... I ate so much beef back then that I still remember... I mean, I still have steak dinners every so often and they just taste so good..."

"Hmm..." Akio smiled, patting the cleaned fish meat with a paper towel. "Good food is most definitely a treat, I suppose."

"...I-It is..." Yuki stated, nodding her head in agreement. "D-Definitely...!"

FULL MOON wo sagashite

(I'm searching for a full moon)

The goldenrod-haired youth sliced off the darker portions of the meat, disposing of it as he nodded. "Yes... By the way, Yuki-chan? Thank you for being here."

Brightening up completely, Shinoya couldn't help but beam and nod repeatedly over and over again.

"It's no problem at all...! No need to worry!"

Let's sing a song

itsudemo issho kimi no tame ima no watashi ni dekiru subete

(To be with you together forever, I'm doing everything I can do)

"Kazuo-kun, I am sorry for scaring you earlier! But you're still a dork so I'm still going to keep picking on you!" Kazuki shouted into the room where Kazuo was cleaning a window, earning the glasses-wearing boy to snap up in surprise and turn to the navy-haired boy just as he fled, laughing all the while.

Hakuta just stood there blinking stupidly as he reached to push up at his spectacles before just sighing heavily and shaking his head with a slight exasperated smile.

"Kazuki-kun is such an idiot..."

"But at least he means well," Yuki, who was just passing by innocently, chirped out randomly before quickly running off also. "Oh, don't mind me, Kazun, I was just a bystander!"

Kazuo just completely laughed at that.

Day by day

kyou made on unmei ashita kara no kibou kono mune ni dakae

(I will embrace yesterday's fate and tomorrow's hopes in my heart)

"Alright everyone, the food's ready now!"

"Arigatou, Akio-kun!" they all chirped happily, chopsticks ready for the meal. "Itadaki-masu~!"

Yuki grabbed the rice bowl to start with before picking at the fish with her chopsticks and sticking it into her mouth only for her to only start chewing for a little while before swallowing and sighing happily, clamping her hand that wasn't holding the rice bowel onto her cheek without dropping the chopsticks. "Ooh, it's just so delicious! Even though it's raw fish, it's still really, really delicious after all! I didn't think that was even possible!"

"Akio-kun has magic hands... don't deny it!" Kazuki chirped, stealing a bit of fish off Kazuo's plate and then off Naoki's, earning the two boys to look shock and glare at him in the middle. "You're so great, Akio-kun~! We'd all starve to death without you... I'm sure of it!"

Akio only laughed softly at that, chuckling. "Thank you, Kazuki-kun... I really appreciate it... Now please, make prayers correctly and don't fight at the food table."

Let's sing a song

itsudemo issho kimi to nara tsurai koto nori koerareru yo

(If I am always with you, I can make it through any pain)

These boys are really like a true family... Shinoya grinned widely and started to chuckle. I almost envy them a lot... they really seem to have it easy... Of course... that could just be me after all...

"Everyone!" she laughed happily in a sing-song voice. "Let's not fight and enjoy this meal instead!"

More and more

motto motto motto chikazukitai ima koko ni ite kurete

(I want to be closer and closer to you and just give you for being here with me,)

"Thank you for visiting, Yuki-chan... please come again when you can alright?"

"I will!" Yuki exclaimed as she headed down the road while the boys all waved goodbye at her and she only laughed before turning around and skipping down the path, her smile widening more and more with every step that she took.

Many thanks for you!

The black witch finally stopped when she realized where she ended up... right in front of the Mahou-Dou.

That's when she looked up at one of the street clocks they built near the shop, noticing that it was already late afternoon, sighing as her shoulders slumped again.

Well, I got more than enough excitement with Kazuki-kun and time somehow managed to fly by after all... how lucky is that? Though I still feel a little lonelier now that I'm all alone once again... but isn't that supposed to be normal or something or what? Geez, I just...

"Majorika was supposed to lock it up," she mused, heading to the door to give it a light tug only to perk up in confusion when it clicked open, much to her confusion. "Huh?"

Well, this isn't good... I better make sure that no one stole anything... sheesh, Majorika... what were you even thinking?

The blond stuck her head inside and...

...saw the rest of the girls smiling.

"Hey, took you long enough," Doremi greeted with a laugh, earning Yuki's eyes to jolt wide. "We all got here a lot earlier than we thought we would... so every single one of us figured to come here to make sure Majorika locked it..."

"YUKI~! You made it after all~!" Hana cheered as she rushed over to hug the black witch tightly. "Hana-chan was worried that she'd have to chase after you after all!"

"My father is a flake," Moriko stated with a sigh and a shake of her head. "He didn't even show up like he was supposed to... that liar..."

"Moriko-chan, I'm sorry," Akemi stated gently as she took one of her friend's hands with a slight squeal, blushing heavily at the supposed to be friendly and comforting contact. "I'm sure he was just too busy and deeply regrets it..."

"...Yeah..."

"Working with okaa-chan was a lot more tirin' than I expected... I really hope that I can get some rest here!" Aiko exclaimed with a loud laugh, wrapping a free arm around a flushed Hazuki. "What do ya say, Hazuki-chan? Did yer mother do the exact same thing with ya?"

"Y-You could say that, Ai-chan..."

"I'm amazed that you even showed up early like I did, Kurumi-chan," Onpu giggled lightly. "Were you also hoping to see Yuki-chan here at the Mahou-Dou along with everyone else...?"

Kurumi gave the purple witch a knowing smile of her own, grinning widely as she simply winked. "Yeah, you could actually say that, Onpu-chan... I wanted to see mon ami's smile... what of it?"

"Why are you always calling her the wrong...?"

"I have my reasons, Onpu-chan and there many questions in this world that don't really need answers."

"Ah."

"Is this a joke? Why wasn't I told about this?" Yuki finally demanded in irritation, taking the pink witch's shoulders. "Did you all think this would be funny or was I just purposefully excluded in all the fun?"

"Yuki, that's not true~! Hana-chan wanted to get you~! Really~!" Hana whined as she hugged her arm, earning Doremi to just smile and shake her head.

"No, we... we kind of were all waiting for you since... well... It's been a while since we all became friends and thanks to your little mission, we all reunited and became witches again, we wanted to thank you for that..."

"B-But that's not my... my..." Shinoya looked utterly shocked and shook her head over and over again. "Doremi-chan, I... Everyone... Thank you so much... I am... very lucky to have friends like you all..."

They all smiled.

"I made cake and cookies like I said I would!" Momoko burst in happily at the last minute, earning them all to perk up in surprise as she held up the two trays of delicious dessert. "Everyone, let's dig in...! To the purifiers! To us! To..."

She set down the plates on a table that she all circled around. "To... Hana-chan."

"To Momo back~! Hana-chan says... to Kurumi, our newest friend and Hana-chan's newest mama!" Hana chirped happily, taking the gray witch, earning her to blush.

"Very well..." Sayoko began before taking Segawa's hand. "To Onpu-chan, my friend that understands all the stress and agony of being famous!"

"Thank you," Onpu thanked sincerely before taking Takahashi's hand, earning an indignant squawk from the green witch. "And to Moriko-chan, who not only can stand Tooru-kun, but also for putting up with the rest of us to the point where we're all friends!"

"Hey, Tooru-kun's really cute, you know," Moriko grumbled before taking Akemi's hand without hesitation. "But to my dear Akemi-chan, who is getting braver and braver to the point where it's really commendable! Congrats, Akemi-chan!"

"M-Moriko-chan, really!" Suzuki squealed, flushing deeply before taking Hazuki's hand. "A-And to Hazuki-chan who managed to show that even if y-you're really shy, you can still make wonderful and sincere friends..."

"Thank you, Akemi-chan," Fujiwara giggled as she ended up taking Senoo's hand. "To Ai-chan, who managed to always make us laugh and be with me and Doremi-chan for the longest most definitely..."

"Thank ya, Hazuki-chan," Aiko laughed before snatching up Doremi's hand. "Of course, to Doremi-chan, the sincere and clumsy girl that's been with all of us since the very beginning and the greatest out of all of us...!"

"A-Ai-chan, really...! How embarrassing..." Doremi squealed as well, rubbing at the back of her neck before taking Yuki's hand finally. "And to Yuki-chan last but certainly not least... for just being here. Thank you, Yuki-chan."

"Thank you, Yuki-chan." The other girls echoed; earning Yuki's eyes to glimmer before she quickly smiled.

"T-To everyone! Let's keep doing our best as we keep fighting!"

"Yes!"

I think... this is definitely a crowd I don't really need to entertain myself with after all...

-Lesson Learned-

(Footage: We slowly zoom into a table that's practically buried under a ton of photos of Yuki and the rest of the witch apprentices, and a few duo shots just as a pen with Shinoya Yuki's name engraved in it rolls by over the photographs.)

Mijikaitemo yoku shiranai

(I don't understand at all, even though I'm by your side)

(Footage: The black witch is seen sleeping and resting on her desk with her head nestled rather comfortably in her arms, her shoulders rising gently as she yawns quietly and begins to dream.)

Tameiki shinpai wo nosete

(I sigh worriedly from my heart,)

(Footage: On one side of the screen, we see Yuki meeting Doremi for the first time as the black witch beams and starts shaking the pink witch's hands repeatedly, followed soon enough by an image of the blond tilting her head to the side and smiling brightly and says 'it's nice to meet you'.)

Kono machi nukeru ashita wo omou

(At the thought of leaving this city tomorrow)

(Footage: It switches to a memory of Yuki glomping Onpu as the rest of the girls look a little surprised only for the purple witch to laugh good-naturedly and quickly lean nicely into the black witch's arms. The rest of the girls soon all smile brightly as well.)

Nanika itta yo nanika umegaii

(I wish you would say something)

(Footage: Saiki perks up as he turns around to face a rather blushing Yuki who had probably just confessed her love to him again for the umpteenth time. The black witch blinks, her chocolate brown eyes glimmering rather expectantly as the black-haired wizard just smiles fondly.)

Yume wo mita kedo oboetenai no

(Even though I had a dream, I can't remember it)

(Footage: Another memory of Majoren patting a much younger Yuki on the head appears only to be quickly replaced by the Misora wizards as Kazuki glomps the witch cheerfully, with Akio lightly touching her arm as well as Naoki and Kazuo placing their hand on her shoulders. They all laugh.)

Wasurete furi ga te tada to oshienai de

(Please don't tell me I can't pretend to forget)

(Footage: Yuki's eyes then flicker open as she sits up, looking at the photographs in slight surprise and focusing her attention on a particular photo that has her with the entire group including all of the wizards and even Poppu with her and Saiki standing side by side with the black wizard looking surprisingly sheepish. A tear drop soon splatters onto the photo, and it's revealed to be a stunned Shinoya with tears welling up in her eyes and soon trickling down her cheeks without any explanation as she quickly wipes them away and then smiles brightly and laughs.)

Massugu na kimochi ga mae wo miteru yorokobi wo miteru

(I look forward with sincere feelings, looking towards joy)

(Footage: All of the girls' smiles flash by one by one and we switch to the Nanimokamo Mahou-Dou just as Doremi flips the sign close and they all do high-fives, all of their grins flashing by rather quickly before switching to later where Yuki is standing all alone in front of the magic shop and looks at her hand that she used in the high-five with slight surprise before holding it close to her heart and just smiling in relief with her eyes shut.)

Mayoi ga shita Ride Ride Rise...

(Erasing doubt, Ride Ride Rise...)

(Footage: The witch apprentices all fly into the air happily, ending with Doremi and Yuki as they laugh with one another and wrap arms around each other's shoulders as they all zoom happily off into the sunset on their brooms.)

Massugu ni kaze ga egaku kaikisen

(The onward wind paves the route to return)

(Footage: The wizards can all be seen looking up at the sunset in surprise just as Saiki perks up as if in confusion just as Akatsuki glances questionably at him and surprisingly enough, the black-haired wizard just slowly smiles widely, laughing a little.)

Kiga tsuitara

(Upon finding out)

(Footage: It fades back into the black witch's room where Meme is sleeping on top of the bed while Yuki is back at her desk.)

Ah tokimeki nemuru mae ni

(Ah, before the wavering feelings fall asleep,)

(Footage: The blond appears to be scribbling something down and then smiles brightly at her handiwork when she's done, and soon holds up the picture.)

Hayaku hayaku

(Hurry, hurry)

(Footage: It's revealed that along with the date that the picture was taken, Yuki had also written "Me, Saiki-kun, the wizards, and all of my dearest friends" in rather clear whimsical script across the top.)

Next time on Ojamajo Doremi Tomo-DACHI:

Yuki: Alright! Time for the ultimate test of courage and wits and bravery! The entire school is now participating in the special Shinoya Yuki-Yuki Kimodameshi-shi! Pretty amazing idea, huh?

Doremi: What? So I can have an excuse to hang onto Akatsuki-kun after all...

Moriko: What, you can do that? Great! I'll just grab Tooru-kun and... no... I'm not going to be scared. I'm just going to use it as an excuse...

Hazuki: Please no ghosts, please no ghosts, please no ghosts, please... Majorika, Majorika, Majorika, Majorika...

Momoko: Majorika, Majorika, Majorika, Majorika, Majorika...

Akemi: M-Majorika? Oh, um... I guess I'll join too, then... Majorika...

Kurumi: Alright...! Who's going to play the part of the ghost girl?

Hazuki: G-GHOST? EYAAAAAAHHHH!

Aiko: Hazuki-chan, it's a fake ghost! Right, Yuki-chan?

Yuki: Mm... It should be.

Hana: Heh? Should be? Yuki, what do you mean by that~?

Onpu: Wait a minute, Yuki-chan... How did you even set all this up?

Yuki: Magic~!

Everyone else: Yuki-chan, you really shouldn't do that...

Yuki: But it's the ultimate kimodameshi, right? I could be with Saiki-kun, and... Well, it's a wonderful way to... to... finally do it!

Everyone else: Do what?

Doremi: Next time on Ojamajo Doremi Tomo-DACHI!

Yuki: The final lesson! "Ultimate Test Of Courage With Sincerity!"! And remember, friendship comes before everything and always treasure it!

Kurumi: Making friends isn't easy, but don't give up!

Yuki: Actually, everyone, when it comes to getting to know others, true courage is...!
