Chapter 19 – The Legend of the Pink Heart & Her Knight

Hana-chan told about their secret to Kotake.

The nine remaining witch apprentices worried if Kotake revealed their secret, and activated the curse of the witch frog again, but Hana-chan commanded him to say the statement.

"Well..." said Kotake, "Anata-tachi..."

"Uh!"

"wa..."

"Uh!"

"Majominarai?"

"Uuuh! Huh?" they yelled at the first, but they noticed something happened. They didn't change to be the witch frogs.

"Demo... demo... doushite?" asked Momoko, "Why don't we change?"

"That's what I want to say to you all." Hana-chan said, "There's a legend of the pink heart. It's one of the legend of your necklace."

"From where did you know about it?" asked Pop.

"This morning, I saw the incident. I want to help you all to cure Doremi-mama, and I read the legend from a book in the kingdom's library."

Hana-chan told them about the legend.

At the past… when the humans and the witches were still living together…

Many humans became the witch apprentices. Not because they found the secret of a witch, but they really wanted to be the witches and lived in the Witch World. Some excellent witch apprentices had the necklaces as their transform's tap. They had a various shape of the necklaces. Heart, star, flower, circle, polygon, etc, and they called each other from the shape and the color of the button.

One of them was the pink heart.

She had a boyfriend, who was a young knight in their town. He called her 'Pinky' and she called him 'Knightly'.

Knightly knew if Pinky was a witch apprentice. They always supported each other, because they loved each other. Pinky have ever helped Majohealth to clean up her hidden herb garden, and Knightly helped her to do it.

"Knightly…" said Pinky, "You should have a sword exercise today."

"Nope. I don't." said Knightly, "I want to help you."

"Your sword teacher will be angry, and that's because of me. You'll get a punishment today."

"Whatever. I just want to help you."

"Okay." Pinky sighed, "Rock Head."

"Hey, I disagree." Knightly said, "I'm an Iron Man."

"Knightly…" they laughed together.

Suddenly, one of Knightly's friends (which a knight too) came and told that the knights from another country which was an enemy of their country came to their country and challenged them to got a war.

Before Knightly went to get the war, Pinky cast her magic to his sword.

"I hope it's enough." Pinky said, "God bless you, and I miss you."

"I promise I'll back with the victory." Knightly said, "Not only for you, but also for our country."

"I hope so."

Then, Knightly went to the war.

A week later, Knightly came to Pinky. The war was over, and they won.

"Knightly, you're great! Yokatta ne."

"It's because of you." Knightly said, "Now, I want to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Would you marry me?" Knightly gave a ring to Pinky.

"Knightly, you don't need to ask it to me. Of course I would."

"Hontou ni?"

"Hontou."

Then, they got married.

Strangely, although Majotourbillon had already made the curse of the witch frogs, but Pinky didn't change to be a witch frog when Knightly said, "You're the most beautiful witch in universe." (AN: It was after Pinky got her magic crystal and became a witch)

At last, they passed away together, in their old times.

"So, you mean... Pinky and Knightly reincarnated to be... Doremi-chan and Kotake-kun?" asked Aiko.

Hana-chan nodded, "and possibly, Pinky's other witch apprentice's friends who had heart shape for their necklaces reincarnated to be all of you, Hazuki-chan, Ai-chan, Onpu-chan, and Momo-chan, but... I don't find about the other's legend yet. Well, that's why... Kotake-kun can know about our secret."

"Jaa, How about the Golden Rose?" asked Hazuki, "Where is it?"

"It's in the hidden space of Majokai kingdom's flower garden. Who wants to go there with me to take the Golden Rose? And, who wants to stay here to take care of Doremi-mama?"

"Hmm..." they thought for a minute.

Suddenly, Doremi's heartbeat have ever stopped for a minutes, but after the Doctor came and used the pacemaker to recalled it, it started again. She was still alive.

"Huh, yokatta." Kotake said while he heard about it from the Doctor, "Can we walk back into the ICU now? Can we see her now?"

"Sure, but... only one person who can go into there. It's the best for her, because... her condition is still critical and unstable."

"Well, Doctor, arigatou."

After the Doctor walked into the another room to examined the another medical patient, Kotake said to the others, "Minna, let me take care of her here, and you all take the Golden Rose. Moreover, you all know about... the Witch World, and I don't."

"Okay. Always see her necklace! Make sure that the color don't fully change yet before we come back here." Hana-chan said, "Minna, ikuyo."

Hana-chan and the remaining witch apprentices went to the Witch World, and Kotake walked back into the ICU, where Doremi was, and she was still unconscious.

Kotake kissed Doremi's right hand and said, "Doremi, I promise, I'll take care of you, and I won't ever walk out from this room."

In the Witch World, the nine witch apprentices and Hana-chan found the Golden Rose. When they wanted to take it, Aiko and Ranami's poron were lightning.

They saw at each other, then nodded.

"Pameruku Raruku Takarakani!"
"Pakushiya Pakushira Yukurakani!"
"Magical stage! Take the Golden Rose!"

Then, they got the Golden Rose.

"So, Hana-chan, what should we do with this Rose?" asked Aiko.

"We must put it as if Doremi-mama hold the stalk. Her right index finger must touch a tip of the leaf, and her necklace must touch the petals." Hana-chan said.

"Okay. Let's we go back and save my older sister!" said Pop.

Back to the hospital. Kotake did what Hana-chan said to him. He saw Doremi's necklace, and he saw that the color have already changed about 95 %.

"Oh no! Almost all part of the note changed its color! Where are the others now? Why do they go so long?" said him, worried if they didn't have time to save her.

Fortunately, the others came, "We're coming!"

"Huh, yokatta, all of you're coming." Kotake said, "Minna, hayaku! Don't lost our time, or her necklace will fully change its color to be black, and then we couldn't meet her anymore."

"So yo. Moreover, I don't want if okaasan and otousan know about it." Pop agreed, "Let's we put the Rose."

Then, they put the Rose, like what Hana-chan said when they got the Rose in Majokai.

Suddenly, the Golden Rose and the necklace were lightning, and then, the note's color returned to pink, and the most important thing was... Doremi opened her eyes. She woke up.

"Minna, why am I here now? I'm not sick." Doremi saw the Golden Rose in her hands, "and... what is this?"

"Doremi, it's because of me. Can you remember about the pink Rose that I gave you this morning?"

"Oh yeah. I remember it. That Poison Rose." Doremi nodded, "So?"

"I bought the Poison Rose from... Majowarui."

"What? But how... how do you know about her? and this Rose?" Doremi moved her sight to her own necklace, "Or... do you know about... this necklace?"

Then, she saw Hana-chan, "Uh, well, I think, now you know about anything. You have already know that I... and the others... and Hana-chan...?"

Kotake nodded, "I know it."

"But how..."

"Let me explain it." Hana-chan said, "About the Rose in your hands, it's a Golden Rose from the Witch World which can cure you from the poison, and about Kotake-kun..."

Hana-chan thought for a minute, then explained the legend of the pink heart to Doremi.

"So, that's why... you told Kotake about our secret..." said her, "Wakatta."

"Well, I know that we're still in the hospital, but maybe... now it's the great time to say..." Pop thought for a minute, then added, "Onee-chan, otanjoubi omedetou!"

"Poppu, arigatou."

"Well, when I see you collapsed, I was so afraid if I couldn't say it to you today."

"But now, you see that you can say it to me. I'm here now." Doremi said, "Err, minna, can you all tell the Doctor that I'm okay now? You know that I don't sick, right? I just collapsed because of that Poison Rose, but overall, I'm fine."

"Well, I agree if you want to go home now, but I think, we can't tell the Doctor about your real condition. We just can tell her that you have already wake up. Don't make her suspect about it." Kotake suggested.

"Huh, okay. Do my parents know about it?"

"No." Pop shook of her head, "We don't tell okaasan and otousan about it."

"Well, that's good. They must be so worried if they knew about it."

"Okay, I'll call the Doctor now." Kotake said, then walked out from the ICU.

Doremi saw him while he walked to the door and then walked out from the room.

'Knightly was Pinky's true love... Is Kotake... my true love?' Doremi thought, 'Uh, okay. I think... love is never wrong.'

Then, Kotake walked back into the room with the Doctor. The Doctor examined her, and of course, like what she said, she was okay and could go home now.

"Hmm, I think... a miracle saves you." The Doctor said to Doremi, "When you came here, your condition is so bad, but... now you're okay. Even, you don't need to consume any medicine."

"Uh, hehe... maybe, it's because all of the special people in my life are here, so I try to survive for them." Doremi said, "My best friends, my younger sister, and also..."

"Uh, I know. Your boyfriend, right? I saw him when he carried you here."

"Well, yes." Doremi's cheek blushed, "He's... my boyfriend."

'and also, my soul mate.' Doremi continued her words in her mind.

Then, after the Doctor walked out from the room, they walked together, to the Maho base camp.

"Wow, I didn't know if this place is a historical place for you all." Kotake said, "Uh, Doremi, can we..."

"Well, I want to go to the toilet." Pop cut what Kotake said.

"Poppu-chan, matte. I want to go there too." Dira followed Pop to the toilet.

"Uh, I forget to bring the birthday gift for you, from me and Anita-chan. I thought that you would have date with Kotake-kun during today, so that you couldn't come here." Hazuki said, "I'll take it from my house."

"I'll follow you, Hazuki-san." Anita said.

"Hazuki-chan, Anita-chan, daijobu yo." said Doremi, "You both can give it to me later."

But it was too late. They have already walked to Hazuki's house.

"Huh." Doremi sighed, then she saw Hana-chan, who saw her own watch, "Hana-chan, doushita no?"

"Uh, nande mo. I just... I think I can't stay longer here today. Much things to do in the Witch World. Gomen ne." Hana-chan said, "So, can I go now?"

"Of course you can. Daijoubu yo. I understand with the condition in the Witch World now. They need you more than us."

"Okay. Arigatou, Doremi-mama." said Hana-chan while she got ready to go home, "Bye bye!"

"Bye bye!"

"Uh, one more. Doremi-mama, otanjoubi omedetou!"

"Well, Hana-chan, arigatou."

Then, Hana-chan went home.

Before the others gave their reason to leave Doremi and Kotake, the blue haired boy quickly said, "Okay, I don't want if the others go from here. Let's we go upstairs. I want to talk privately."

"Well, we go upstairs." Doremi said.

Then, at the second floor, Kotake said, "So... I can't give you anything today. Our plan to walk around is failed. I can't make you happy today."

"Who says it? Sonna koto nai yo. I'm happy that you helped me today. You carried me to the hospital, and you took care of me when I collapsed." Doremi said, "You know, I dreamed something when I fainted."

"Hontou ni?"

"Hontou. Do you want to know, what did I see in my dreams?"

Kotake nodded, "Tell me."

"I saw Majowarui tied my hands and pulled me to a big ravine, then... after she let my hands free, she pushed me into the ravine. I was so scare, but then, I felt someone hold my right hand and pulled me out, and... he was you. It was just like in our summer camp in the sixth grade, but it was better. You could pull me out from there, then I embrace you. At last, I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the hospital, with the Golden Rose in my hands."

"So, you saw that I helped you?"

Doremi nodded.

"Okay." said Kotake.

Suddenly, he thought something which would become a good 'little gift' for her.

Kotake said, "Can you close your eyes now? I have an... alternative gift for you."

"Well... I'll close my eyes."

Doremi closed her eyes, then Kotake kissed her lips. Doremi felt surprised and opened her eyes, "Kotake, you..."

"I just can give you that. I don't have time to buy a new gift for you today." said Kotake.

He realized that maybe he have already done something wrong, so he said, "Ah, gomen. You must be don't like it, right? Suddenly, I just thought about it and... and..."

He sighed, "You must be hate me now."

"No, Kotake. I like it. It's the best gift I've ever got in my birthday. Arigatou."

Suddenly, they heard Aiko yelled, called them, "Doremi-chan, let's we celebrate your birthday! Share your happiness to us, don't only share it to your 'Knightly'!"

"Chotto!" Doremi laughed, "Okay, Ai-chan. We'll come."

Then, they went downstairs, with their blushing cheek.
