Ojamajo Doremi-Poppu Heart-Star

Chapter 8 – Machiko's New Classmate is Dira?

In the class 1 in the fifth grade...

It was Machiko's classroom.

'Huh, why don't Poppu-chan and the others study in this class?' Machiko thought, 'It's so boring here.'

Just at Maho base camp, she could meet them.

Then, her homeroom teacher walked into the class.

"Minna, today we have a newcomers from Germany..." she said, "Dira, please come here!" she called the newcomer with English.

'Dira?' asked Machiko in her mind, 'Is she...'

A girl walked into the class. She asked with English, "Miss, can I introduce myself with German?"

"Sure. But you must translate it. At least to English, so that I can tell the other about what you mean."

"Okay." Dira stood up in front of the class and introduced herself with German, "Halo. Ich heiβe Achira Dira. Ich komme aus Berlin, und wohne jetzt in Misora."

'Positive! Achi... Dira. Achira Dira! She's the another majominarai!' Machiko thought, 'I must tell Poppu-chan, Anita-chan, and Ran-chan about her.'

Then, Dira translated what she said before, now in English, "Hello, I am Achira Dira. I come from Berlin, and now I live in Misora."

Meanwhile, in class 2 (at the same grade, of course), the homeroom teacher couldn't come to school. Pop took the initial's paper and saw it, make sure if the last majominarai's name changed, and it really happened.

She groped around her backpack and then found the last necklace. She put it back to her backpack and focused her sight to the paper in her right hand.

'She's near now.' Pop thought, then read the name on the paper in her heart, 'Her name is Achira Dira...'

She whispered to Anita and Ranami, "Anita-chan, Ran-chan, let's we go to the top! The name appears, and it's better if we talk about it at the top."

Then, they went to the top. But before that, they went to the toilet and asked their fairies to disguised as them and went back to their class.

Machiko saw Pop, Anita, and Ranami when they ran in front of her class from the door. Dira had already sit down on a seat in front of Machiko, and because of that, she couldn't see that Machiko have ever shifted her attention from their homeroom teacher.

Machiko stood up and said, "I want to go to the toilet."

After she walked out from her class, she called Sasa.

"Sasa, go into the class. Don't let anybody know if you're not me, and the most important thing is, you must look after Dira. I want to follow the others."

"Okay, Machi-chan. Give it to me."

Then, Sasa walked into the class 1, and Machiko followed Pop, Anita, and Ranami.

"Minna, wait for me." Machiko said, "Where are you going?"

"Machi-chan, let's follow us to the top. The name appears." Pop said

At the top, Pop read the name.

"Gals, I know about her." said Machiko, "She's my new classmate, and she comes from Berlin, Germany."

"Really?" said Pop, "I think... it's so difficult to find her, but in fact..."

"But there's a trouble. She can't speak Japanese."

"So, that's the trouble..." Pop smiled, "We can ask Momo-chan to help us."

"That's right, Poppu-chan." Anita agreed, "She can speak English very well, and we know that English is an universal language. Dira-chan must be speak English too."

Ranami asked, "Does she speak English in your class?"

"Yes, Ran-chan." Machiko said.

"Demo, Machi-chan, have you ever spoken English in your work? As an actress?" asked Anita.

"Just a little. I just can speak some general sentences."

"Hey, although it's just a little, but at least, you know about what she said." Pop said, "You can talk to her although you just speak some simple sentences. Moreover, you're her classmate. Maybe... Momo-chan have ever taught me to speak English, but I can't help you much, because she isn't my classmate."

"Okay, I'll try." Machiko decided, "But I still need help from Momo-senpai."

After school, Machiko tried to bring Dira to Maho base camp. She said in English, "Dira-chan, would you mind if I... want to... invite you to... somewhere?"

"Who are you?" asked Dira (still in English).

"I am Izumi Machiko, and I... want to... tell you about... something."

"Okay." Dira said, "I think, you are a kind person."

Then, they went to Maho base camp, and talked about the problem in Majokai with Pop, Anita, Ranami, and Momoko.

"So, Majokai... and Jou-sama... are in dangerous?" asked Dira.

"Yes." Momoko said, "So, do you want to join with us?"

"I want, but I must know... where is Didi, my fairy?"

"She is in my house." Pop said, "I will bring her here."

Then, Pop went home to took Didi and brought her to Maho base camp.

Momoko asked Dira in English, "So, can you speak Japanese? I see that you say 'Majokai' and 'Jou-sama'."

"Well, just a little. I am born in Germany. My mom and dad just taught me English and German there, and a little Japanese before I moved here, but I still cannot use it too much."

"That is okay. You know, four years ago, I have ever forgotten Japanese too much, but my best friends here taught me Japanese."

"Your best friends?"

"Well, Pop's older sister and her friends. I think, you must learn Japanese more intensive now, and you can start it to call the others with –chan or –san behind their name. Your parents must be already telling you about it, right? Just try it now."

"Well..." Dira saw Anita-tachi. Momoko had already introduce them to her, and now, she wanted to try to call them, "Anita-chan, Ranami-chan, and Machiko-chan?"

"Just call me Ran-chan." Ranami said, "I think, 'Ranami-chan' is too long."

"So do I. 'Machiko-chan' is too long, so call me Machi-chan." Machiko agreed.

"Okay, but... how about Pop. Do I call her... Pop-chan?" Dira tried to call Pop, but she got something weird.

"No, Dira. You call her Poppu-chan. If we write her name, we write it 'Poppu'." Anita explained.

"Wow, so many rules in Japanese." Dira said, "How if I have already meet your best friends, Momo..."

"Just call me Momo-san." Momoko quickly said.

"Well, okay. How if I have already meet them?"

"It is okay. I will help you to call them." Momoko shifted their subject, "By the way, who is the witch whose identity found by you?"

"She was Majolady," Dira started to told Momoko about her 'master', "and she passed away before I returned her form."

"Hey, it is just like me, Dira-chan. I mean... Majomonroe passed away before I returned her form."

"Really?"

"Yes. I almost cast a forbidden magic to make her alive, but my crystal was broken and... I failed to do it." Momoko explained, "But now, I think... it is better than if I did it. I would die. By the way, Dira-chan, did you try to cast forbidden magic to Majolady?"

"No. I want, but I was so scare, so I did not. I felt angry that I could not do anything, so I threw my crystal and made it broken."

"Then, you quit."

"Yes. I tried to forget it, but I cannot. I saw Didi fainted when my crystal was broken, and it made me feel guilty, until now."

"I see." Momoko said, "Didi lost her hope when you threw your crystal."

Meanwhile, Pop was in her room. She took Didi.

Doremi arrived at their house when Pop ran out from her room with Didi in her hands.

"Doshita no, Poppu?" asked Doremi, "Why you look so hurriedly?"

"We've already find Dira-chan, and now... she want to met Didi, her fairy."

"So, her name is Didi..."

"Yes. I'll go to Maho base camp to accompany Didi to Dira-chan. Want to go with me?"

"No. I'll go there later. I forgot to wear my necklace this morning, so I want to take it before I go there." Doremi said, "Maybe... Ai-chan have already arrive there right now."

"Okay. I go now. See you there."

Back to Maho base camp. Someone opened the door and walked into there. When Dira heard the door's sound, she stood up and called, "Didi? Is it you?"

Dira, Anita, Ranami, Machiko, and Momoko walked to the front room to see who it was...

Aiko.

"Uh, gomen na." Aiko said, "Who are you?"

"She's Dira-chan, Ai-chan, the another majominarai." Momoko said, "Dira-chan, she is one of my best friends, Senoo Aiko, but you can call her Ai-san."

"Uh, okay. Nice to meet you." Dira said.

"So do I. It is so great to meet you. But... by the way... who is Didi?" adapted to Dira, Aiko said it with English (as Momoko have ever taught her English, she could speak with Dira).

"Didi is my fairy." Dira explained.

"Yup, and I promise to bring her here." Pop said when she walked into there, "Dira-chan, she is still unconscious, but if you use this necklace and push its button, she will wake up."

Pop gave the necklace to Dira, then Dira wore it.

"Wait a minute, Poppu-chan. We must teach Dira-chan the fun sentences." Ranami said.

"The fun sentences?" asked Dira, "What is it?"

"Okay, gals, let's we do it." Pop said, then, she and the other Star (except Dira) pushed their necklace's button and transformed.

"Puritti Witchi Ranamichi!"
"Puritti Witchi Anitachi!"
"Puritti Witchi Machikochi!"
"Puritti Witchi Poppuchi!"

"Try it." Momoko said, "You want if Didi wakes up, right?"

"Okay." Dira pushed the button on her necklace.

"Puritti Witchi Dirachi!"

After Dira transformed, Didi opened her eyes, "Dira... where are you?"

"Didi, I'm here." Dira took Didi and embraced her in her hand, "Don't leave me anymore."

"You too, Dira. I need you."

"Minna, konnichiwa! I'm coming!" said Doremi.

"Konnichiwa!" said Aiko, Momoko, and Poppu-tachi.
