Chapter 17 – Dira's Birthday

Friday, 15 July.

It was Dira's birthday, but she wasn't happy.

This morning, her parents didn't say anything. They forgot if their daughter born eleven years ago.

Machiko saw her sadness, so she asked about it at the rest time.

After Dira answered her questions, Machiko said, "So, it's your birthday? Well, Dira-chan, otanjoubi omedetou!"

"I'm sorry, Machi-chan, but... I don't know what you mean."

"Uh, I mean... happy birthday, Dira-chan!"

"Uh, okay." Dira said, "Arigatou."

"Hmm, I think... Pop, Anita, and Ranami will be happy if they know about it."

"About what, Machi-chan? Dira-chan?" asked Pop. She came with Anita and Ranami, "Doushita no?"

"Today is Dira's birthday!"

"Hontou ni?" said Anita, "Dira-chan, otanjoubi omedetou!"

"Otanjoubi omedetou!" said Pop and Ranami.

"Wow, so... now we know that there are two witch apprentices who have their birthday in July." Pop said.

"Hontou ni? Demo... who's the another? Yourself? Anita-chan? Or... Ran-chan?" asked Machiko.

"Chigau yo, Machi-chan. I'm in September." Pop smiled.

"I'm in April." Anita said.

"I'm in January." Ranami said, "I think, the another one is from the Heart."

"Sou sou, that's right." Pop nodded, "and she's my older sister."

"Wow, sugoi!" said Machiko, "So, when?"

"15 days later after today."

"30 July? Well, 15 times two equals 30."

Then, they laughed for a minute, except Dira, who was still sad that her parents forgot about her birthday.

Pop caught that Dira didn't laugh, so she asked, "Dira-chan, doushita no? Why you looked so sad? In your birthday?"

"Well, I... my parents forget about it."

"Uh, sou ka." Pop said, "Daijoubu yo. I think, they have surprise for you. My parents also didn't say anything to onee-chan when we prepared a surprise party for her four years ago."

"Uh, I remember! Hazuki-san told me that she and the others made a surprise party for Doremi-san four years ago." Anita said.

"Yup. That's what I mean."

"But... Poppu-chan, I don't think so." Dira said, "It's five years since my last birthday party in Berlin..."

"Uh, Dira-chan, gomen. I think..." said Pop, "Hmm, okay. We must tell about it to your parents."

"Now?"

Pop nodded, "Yes. I have a plan."

Then, they transformed and went to Achira Company, to meet Dira's parents. They commanded their fairies to disguise as them at school.

At the Achira Company, Pop asked Dira to meet her parents to say about her birthday.

"Are you sure, it will work?"

"I'm sure. 100 %!" said Pop, "Daijoubu yo, Dira-chan. Onee-chan have ever told me that we wouldn't know about something if we didn't try it."

"Well, okay. I'll try." Dira said. She went into her parent's room.

A half hour later...

Dira smiled when she ran out from the room. She embraced Pop, "Poppu-chan, arigatou. Now, my parents remember about my birthday."

"So, do they have a plan for celebrate your birthday?"

"Yes. They asked me to invite all of my close friends to come to my house tonight. They want to make a party for me." Dira explained, "So, can you all come to my house tonight?"

"Mochiron yo. Of course we can."

They smiled, and then went back to school.
