Chapter 14 – Majoroseline Appears! The Black Rose Witch
On the next day…
Kotake, Murasaki and Fami were taking their breakfast together when suddenly, Shiroyuki called and told Fami by phone that she and the others wanted to go to school with the pink haired leader.
"Eh? But I have promise with my grandfather that I'll go to school with him," replied Fami, "Is it okay for you all to go to school with me and my grandfather?"
"Of course, we don't mind. Is it better if you and your grandfather can go to school with us? Especially, with Nozomi-chan," said Shiroyuki in a brighter voice, "I think your grandfather won't ever mind with it, as Nozomi-chan is his granddaughter too."
"Oh, alright. I also don't think that it's a bad idea," Fami then remembered about her nightmare last night and added, "By the way, can we have a meeting at the school's rooftop this morning? I want to talk about something important."
"I think we still have enough time for it," replied Shiroyuki, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Well, it's better if I explain it in our meeting. I just want to talk about it with all of you."
"Okay, I understand."
Both of the girls then ended their conversation, and when Kotake asked Fami about it, the pink haired girl told him about Shiroyuki and the other's idea to go to school together.
"Oh, I don't think it's a bad idea either," he smiled, "Seems like, you five start to become like your grandmothers."
"Eh? Does it mean that obaachan often went to school with her best friends when she was in Elementary School?"
Kotake nodded, "Mostly on the days when she didn't wake up late in the morning, but yeah, I remember met them walked to school together several times."
"I see," Fami giggled, "Ojiichan, you're really obaachan's soulmate."
"Alright then, finish your breakfast before Nozomi and the others arrive here. However, our house is the nearest from the school, so they must be picking us up here before we go there, right?"
"Okay!" Fami blinked, then finished her breakfast.
A few minutes later, right when the pink haired girl and her grandfather prepared themselves after her father left for work, they could hear Rizuko called, "Fami-nee, let's we go to school!"
"Okay, we'll walk out," replied Fami, "Just wait for a moment, please? I and ojiichan are still preparing ourselves."
"We'll be waiting for you until you come out with ojiichan," stated Nozomi, "Just don't be too late or else we couldn't arrive at school on time."
"We understand, Nozomi," Kotake replied what his younger granddaughter said. He then walked out from his house with Fami-chan and met the other new witch apprentices there, and they wasted no time to go to school.
As they arrived at Misora Elementary School, Kotake walked to the soccer field to see the soccer club's morning practice, and Fami used this chance to drag Nozomi and the others to the school's rooftop. There, she told them about her nightmare last night.
"Eh? So you dreamed that you were in the Black Rose garden and then… you saw an evil witch there…" Nozomi concluded, "Does it mean that we'll have an enemy who wants to prevent us from opening the Rainbow Gate?"
"Maybe. I just saw her smirking evilly and thrusting her hands towards me, then suddenly, I got a great heart attack," explained Fami, "It was even greater than the last heart attack I got, when… you know…"
"Don't worry. I get it, Fami-chan," cut the brunette, "So, what should we do now? Should we ask Auntie Hana and Majorika about it?"
"Of course! I'm so sure that we can get information about that evil witch from those two," Molly flicked her fingers, "Auntie Hana is the present Queen of the Witch World, so she certainly knows about any witches from the Witch World."
"Well, not to mention that Majorika was already old when she became our grandmothers' tutor…" added Shiroyuki, "There must be so many witches that she already met in her whole life."
"Alright, so it's decided then," Nozomi finally said, "We'll ask them about the evil witch at Maho-dou."
"Actually, I just wonder… why it feels like I've ever seen that evil witch before…" Fami admitted, "It's as if… I already know about her since long time ago but I can't remember it."
"If that's the case, maybe it means that our grandmothers have ever fought that witch," Izumi guessed, "Fami-nee, you know what I mean, right?"
"I know it, and I also think that it's possible," replied Fami. She sighed, "If only obaachan could come into my dream and tell me more about that evil witch…"
"Let's just hope that she'll explain it to you in your dream someday," Nozomi patted her older cousin's shoulders, "If that is really an important thing, I'm sure that she definitely will let you know about it in any ways."
"I hope so, Non-chan. For now, we just can hope that Auntie Hana can give us some information about that evil witch I saw in my dream last night."
Just then, the bell was rang. All of them then walked into their own class.
.O.
"An evil witch at a Black Rose garden?"
"Yeah. That's right, Auntie Hana," Fami nodded as she finished her explanation about her nightmare last night. She asked, "Do you know about that witch? Have you ever fought with any evil witch before?"
"Hmm… An evil witch, huh? Let me see…" Hana tried to remember, "When the previous Queen was ill several years ago, Poppu tried to gather some magical herbs with her own team…"
"Ah, obaachan have ever told me about it," cut Izumi, "There was an evil witch who always tried to prevent them got those herbs."
"You're right, Izumi-chan, but rather than evil, I think it's better to call her the ghost of witch," Hana sighed, "and it's impossible for her to get revenge on us. She was already died, as your grandmother could prevent her soul to come alive. She won't ever come alive anymore."
"Even so, Majowarui wasn't the only one witch whom we've ever fought with…" Majorika reminded, "Hana, I recalled that an evil witch have ever cursed you…"
"Majotourbillon?"
"No, it's not her," Majorika shook of her head, "Don't you remember the time when you found those trees here? You know…"
"Ah, the Royal Seeds tree, right?" Hana flicked her fingers as she remembered, "Then an evil witch came into my room and cursed me."
"Royal Seeds tree?" Fami tilted her head, "I don't know why, but it sounds so familiar…"
"Maybe it's because it was your grandmother who planted it, Fami-chan," Hana giggled, "It was the magic seeds she planted when the previous Queen asked her to raise me."
"Really?"
Hana nodded, "It was her tree."
"However, just a few hours after that, an evil witch suddenly came and cursed you, Hana," added Majorika, "and if I'm not wrong, her name is Majoroseline."
"Yup, that's her name," said Hana before she realized something, "I think the evil witch in your nightmare is her, Fami-chan."
"Eh?!" the pink haired girl was surprised, "Auntie Hana, why are you so sure about that?"
"Well, you said that in your nightmare, you and that evil witch were at a Black Rose garden, and… speaking about that, I just recall that the power she used to curse me came from a Black Rose," Hana explained, "Maybe it's just a coincidence, but… how if the evil witch in your nightmare is really her?"
Suddenly, they could hear some evil laughs, and another witch came out of nowhere to Maho-dou.
"It seems like, my future self will find a way to attack your past self someday, Jou-sama," teased the witch, "but for now, my goal is to prevent all of your witch apprentices become majingen and open the Rainbow Gate."
She then smirked before added, "At least, I don't need to introduce myself to you all anymore, because all of you already know my name."
"We won't ever give up from you!" Molly retorted, "Also, why don't you want to reconnect the Witch World and the Human World? Why do you still go against Auntie Hana's plan?"
"Should I answer your question, little girl?" Majoroseline asked back, "For now, you all just need to know that I'll do anything to get what I want."
"Then, we also won't ever give up in our mission," finally, the pink haired leader said, "We'll prove to you that it's better for the Witch World to rebuild their relationship with the Human World."
"You can say something like that for now, but I'll make sure that you all will give up from me someday," replied Majoroseline before she left and disappeared in a thin air, "Now you just need to wait for my first attack soon."
"We'll be waiting," said Nozomi, "and we'll win from you."
.O.
At night…
When Fami was sleeping in her bedroom, she got a dream again, but this time, it wasn't a nightmare.
In her dream, she stood up in front of Maho-dou, but the building seemed different.
'Is this place… Maho-dou? But why does it seem so different?' Fami turned her attention to the signboard in front of her and read it, "Oshare Zakka Maho-dou?"
She then wasted no time to open the door and walk into the shop while she said, "Excuse me. Can I meet someone here?"
"Finally you come, Fami-chan," unexpectedly, someone greeted her with a warm, nostalgic smile, "So I can explain about that evil witch to you."
"Obaachan!" Fami immediately hugged the young woman in front of her, who was none other than her grandmother in her younger look which Fami had ever seen before her grandmother gave her heart to the pink haired girl, "I know you can help me. I know you'll explain about Majoroseline to me."
"Actually, someone else from the future is the one who tell me about her several years ago, when I was in the sixth grade," Doremi admitted, "Right when Maho-dou was still like this."
"Eh? So… we're in the past Maho-dou right now…"
"Exactly, we're in your dream, Fami-chan," Doremi giggled, "It's just that, as we'll talk about Majoroseline, I think it's better if we talk about her here."
"Well then, obaachan, let me know more about her," demanded Fami, "What curse did she cast to Auntie Hana in that time?"
"Well, Majoroseline cursed Hana-chan so that she fell into deep sadness, and she also fell asleep in that time," the redhead started to explain, "Then things became so complicated, and I almost gave up from her, but then… a friend from the future made me realize that I shouldn't give up that easily."
"Then?"
"All of us tried to break the curse and defeat Majoroseline together, and with our combination powers, we did it."
"Wow, great! I know you're that amazing, obaachan," praised Fami, who then wondered, "Can I and the others win from her too?"
"Of course you can, because my friend from the future whom I mentioned before is in your team," Doremi smiled, "Everything will be alright."
'A friend from the future?' asked Fami in her heart, but just when she wanted to ask her grandmother about it, a bright light forced her to wake up.
