Chapter 4 – The New Group

Nozomi, Rizuko, Shiroyuki, Molly and Izumi immediately took their own magical tap while Fami noticed that their grandmothers' appearance was changed back.

"Wow, these taps are just like yours, Fami-chan," stated Nozomi while she noticed that Fami walked to her and the others, "Then, now all of us can transform like you."

Fami smiled, "Now we really become a team, Nozomi-chan, Rizu-chan, Shiro-chan, Molly-chan, Izumi-chan…"

"Well then, all of you just need to transform like Fami-chan, with your own tap," said Hana to the five girls, "You also can say the phrase and struck your favorite pose like Fami-chan did in her transformation."

"Great!" exclaimed Nozomi. The brunette with magenta eyes then pushed her tap's button while the four other girls pressed theirs, started their transformation.

Just like Fami, the five new witch apprentices shouted their own phrase and strucked their favorite pose, with Nozomi stood up between Shiroyuki and Molly, Rizuko stood up beside Shiroyuki, and Izumi stood up beside Molly.

"Puritti Witchi Izumichii!"

"Puritti Witchi Rizukochii!"

"Puritti Witchi Mollychii!"

"Puritti Witchi Shiroyukichii!"

"Puritti Witchi Nozomichii!"

"Cool! Next time, all of us should transform together like this," commented Fami, "I also want to struck my pose with you all."

"Then, you should struck your pose in the middle with me," replied Nozomi, who now was wearing a green witch apprentice outfit, "Because you're our actual leader."

"Nozomi-chan, you must be kidding," said Fami shyly, "I don't think that I can be a good leader for you all."

"Maybe, but obaachan knows that you can be a good leader. That's why she sacrificed herself just for you," Nozomi grabbed both of her older cousin's shoulders, "Well, I'm our class president, though, I agree with her about this. You can be a good leader for our team."

"Really?"

Nozomi nodded, "Moreover, you were the one who was always excited anytime you heard obaachan's witch story, while… I even have ever thought that she just lied to us, although in fact… she said the truth."

The brunette sighed, but then shook of her head and asked, "Anyways, can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure, you can ask me anything, Nozomi-chan," answered Fami, "What is it?"

"Well… can you call me like the way obaachan usually called me? I mean… at least I want to hear someone calls me like that."

"Really? I mean… that's a special nickname for you from obaachan, and… even Auntie Tsubomi – your mother – doesn't call you that way."

"But I want you to call me like that."

"Wait, what are you talking about, you two?" asked Majorika, didn't understand with what Fami and Nozomi were talking about, "Nozomi, is there something wrong with your nickname?"

"There isn't anything wrong with it, Majorika," Onpu giggled, as she understand with what her older granddaughter talked about with her cousin, "Doremi-chan usually called Nozomi-chan with 'Non-chan', and now, she wants Fami-chan to call her like Doremi-chan did."

"Ah, so Nozomi-chan's name is really based from her…" concluded Hazuki, "Anyways, I think it isn't wrong if Nozomi-chan wants Fami-chan to call her like that."

"See? Even they also agree with me," Nozomi turned back her attention to her cousin, "Fami-chan, please call me like obaachan usually did."

"Hmm…" Fami hardly thought, but finally gave up with her cousin, "Okay, I'll do it. From now on… I'll call you… Non-chan."

"Yey! Thank you, Fami-chan!" Nozomi quickly hugged her older cousin tightly while shouted happily, "You're my best cousin."

"Hey! Nozomi-nee, how about me?" Rizuko protested. The new purple witch apprentice walked to them, "At least, how if we share a group hug once again?"

"Ahem!" Majorika interrupted, "I doubt if you still have time for that or not, as all of you should start your training soon."

"Training?"

"Well, as you all become witch apprentices, you should strengthen your power so that you all can be the real majingen," explained Hana, "Then you can help me in my mission."

"Majingen? What is that?" Fami tilted her head, didn't understand with what Hana's said.

"It's the acronym of majo-ningen, as you all will be half witch and half human," added the new Queen, "At least, I should make a bit differences between the pure witches and the witches which at first become witch apprentices."

"Well then, let's we start now…"

"Wow! Molly-chan, Izumi-chan, your outfit color are wonderful!" praised Rizuko to the turquoise and maroon witch apprentices, cut what Majorika said, "Those are just like blue and red, but…"

"Well, my outfit color is turquoise and Izumi-chan's maroon," Molly explained, "Turquoise is like half blue and half green, and maroon is just red in darker tone."

"I see."

"Excuse me, I don't think it's important for you all to discuss about your outfit color," Majorika politely complained, tried to not get angry with the girls, "We should talk about your training right now."

"Well, I don't want to defend them, but I should admit that their outfit color are different with ours," stated Aiko, "Molly-chan's outfit is neither blue nor yellow, even though she's me and Momo-chan's granddaughter."

"I think her outfit would be green, as it's a combination between blue and yellow, but in fact she gets turquoise, and the one who gets green is Nozomi-chan," added Momoko, "Then Izumi-chan gets maroon."

"At least, maroon is still not really far from red," Pop smiled, "and look at the outfit's model. It's more fashionable than ours, even if we compare it with our last outfit when we got our necklace tap."

But suddenly, right after she talked about the necklace tap, Pop's smile faded, "By the way, now I wonder if Anita-chan and the others are still alive or not…"

"I often try to contact Anita-chan, but I never get any response from her," Hazuki told Pop about her lost cousin, "Since she moved to South Korea with Fumio-kun…"

"Not only her, Hazuki-chan. I also lost contact with Ran-chan, Machi-chan and Dira-chan," Pop sighed, "Now I really wonder about them…"

"Obaachan…" Izumi looked at her grandmother, "You must be thinking about your old team again…"

"A-ny-ways… can we talk about the most important thing right now?" Majorika slowly said, but in a louder tone than her previous complain, "Fami, Nozomi, Rizuko, Shiroyuki, Molly, Izumi, try summoning your porons and your brooms."

"Okay!"

Following Majorika's instruction, the six witch apprentices summoned their porons and their brooms. The old witch then told them about their own magic spell.

"So, I have obaachan's spell…" Fami bowed her head, but then immediately looked at Majorika and added, "Well, it's logic, though… I'll try my best."

"Well, the last word of my spell is just like yours and Izumi-chan's though… the first three words are just too unique for me," commented Nozomi while she talked about her magic spell with Fami, "It's 'Piriran Pururara Fomofima Peperuto', and… it sounds fuzzy."

"Mine is so funny," Molly chuckled, "It's 'Paretun Rerokun Parirori Poppun'…"

The others also shared their magic spells. Rizuko exclaimed that her spell was 'Pupuru Pupu Famufimafi', while Shiroyuki found out that hers was 'Pakita Pikoto Piwipawapu'.

"Then my spell is 'Pikisho Pukishiro Pukiran Peperuto'…" Izumi tilted her head, "Wait, how can my spell have the same last word with Fami-nee and Nozomi-nee?"

"Maybe, that's because of the family relationship between us, Izumi-chan," Pop stroked her granddaughter's light brown hair, "My spell in the past also had the same last word with yours."

"Oh, okay…"

"Then, how about me? Grandma Ai, Grandma Momo, which one from you both whose spell had the same last word with me?" asked Molly curiously.

"Well, it's me," Aiko replied, "Maybe it's because turquoise and blue are similar."

"I hate to say this, but I think you're right, Ai-chan," Momoko gazed at the gray-blue haired old woman beside her, "As turquoise is the mixed between blue and green, while green also is the mixed between blue and yellow, that means blue is dominating more than yellow in turquoise."

"Momo-chan, you think about it too much," Aiko patted her shoulder, "That's not a big problem at all. However, Molly-chan is still our granddaughter, and will always be."

"You're right," Momoko smiled, "At least I was the one who picked her up from the airport when she first arrived here."

"Whatever…" the sporty old woman sighed.

"Wait, how about Rizu-chan and Shiro-chan?" Onpu noticed something, "Rizu-chan's spell doesn't have the same last word with mine, and Shiro-chan's also doesn't have the same last word with Hazuki-chan's…"

"Well, I'm not really sure, though, maybe it's because their first tap aren't like the first tap you got long time ago," Majorika guessed, "As their tap aren't the same tap, it also means that their poron are also… different with yours."

"Then, how about the others? They still have the same last word in their spell…" asked Hazuki.

"I hope we can find the reason soon," concluded Hana, before she shifted the topic and said to the six new witch apprentices, "Alright then, we should see if you six can exactly cast a simple spell. Majorika will ask some of you to make something appear with magic while also ask the rest to make something move, then we'll see if your spell really work like what Majorika asks or not."

"Then, I want to ask Fami-chan first," the old witch started. She thought for a few minutes before demanded to the soft pink haired girl, "Hmm… I want you to bring out something… delicious."

Before Fami-chan even had time to say her spell, Nozomi interrupted, "Wait, something delicious? Majorika, can I also cast a spell along with Fami-chan?"

"Non-chan…"

"Alright then, go ahead," the old witch granted, "Do what you want."

"Okay," Nozomi blinked. The two cousins then casted their spell.

"Pirika Pirirara Poporina Peperuto! A plate of steak appears!"

"Piriran Pururara Fomofima Peperuto! A bowl of cream soup appears!"

In an instant, the mentioned food appeared on the table in front of Majorika, who immediately ate the said food and finished it in just a few minutes.

"Well, not bad," commented the old witch, "At least I still can eat it, and it's really delicious."

"Hey, why do you eat it, Majorika?" Nozomi protested, "I think you commanded us to cast that spell so that we can eat our favorite food here."

"That's the only one way for me to know if those foods are really delicious or not. I should taste it," Majorika gave her reason, "and if it's really delicious, it's not wrong for me to finish the foods, right?"

"Well… you get the point, though…" Fami sweatdropped, "We became so hungry when we imagined the delicious foods, so we hoped that maybe we still could have some bites or… some spoons?"

"It couldn't help," Hana shrugged, "Majorika didn't have time to take a lunch this afternoon."

"Don't say it to all of them!" shouted Majorika, who then cleared her throat and continued, "Anyways, now I want to ask…"

"Me, right? You want me to make some dessert or something like that?" cut Rizuko, "No problem for me. Pupuru Pupu Famufimafi! A piece of shortcake appears!"

Majorika froze for a few minutes, but then shrugged and ate the cake, "Well, if you really want me to eat this, I don't have choice but to eat it, right?"

Rizuko giggled, "I'm glad to hear that."

"As for you three…" Majorika turned her attention to the rest of the girls, "Shiroyuki, try to move only one of those books in that shelf to this table."

"Alright, I'll try," Shiroyuki swung her poron, "Pakita Pikoto Piwipawapu! A book move to this table!"

In an instant, a heavy book flew up from the shelf, onto the mentioned table and landed there.

"Good job, Shiro-chan!" praised Fami. The new orange witch apprentice nodded.

"Now for you, Molly," Majorika looked at the turquoise witch apprentice, "Try to move the teapot over there to this table."

"Oh, that's so simple," Molly flicked her fingers before casted, "Paretun Rerokun Parirori Poppun! Teapot moves to this table!"

Finally, after the teapot landed on the table, Majorika commanded to the youngest witch apprentice, "Izumi, pour the tea into the six cups around the teapot."

"Yosh!" Izumi shouted, "Pikisho Pukishiro Pukiran Peperuto! Fill our glass with the warm tea!"

After Majorika checked the spell casting, she instructed the six girls to use their flying brooms. They then talked a bit before went home to their own house.
