Chapter 25 – The Fact of Care

"Wow! What a nice necklaces!" said Kotake, "Are there really for me and Yada?"

"That's what we think." Doremi said, "Because of the button's color."

Suddenly, a piece of paper appeared in front of them. Doremi took the paper and read the letters on the paper, "Push the button in the same color at the same time. It starts from pink."

Doremi and Kotake stared at each other.

"Let's we try." Kotake said.

Doremi nodded, then they pushed the button.

They didn't change, but the necklaces were lightning, and made all of them gone to somewhere in the past. It was when Doremi and her best friends, with Kotake, Masaru, Hana-chan, and all of their classmates in the sixth grade (in that time) went to Nara and Kyoto for the study tour. They saw that when they were in Kyoto, Kotake followed Doremi everywhere she was (and she didn't know).

"Uh, well. So, you followed me to make sure that I was okay... in that time?" Doremi asked.

Kotake nodded, "That's right. I still felt guilty that I made you fell by threw..."

"Uh, I know. So, you still felt guilty because of that? Although... you had already do the same to make you fell too?"

"Uh-huh." Kotake said, "By the way, I remembered that you and Makihatayama didn't go to the hotel's restaurant together with the others to get the dinner at night, after we went here. Doushite? Were both of you sick?"

"Well, actually, even, I and Hana-chan didn't go there to get the dinner." Doremi explained, "Suddenly, in that time, Hana-chan was back to her original form as a baby, because of the new moon, and I had to hid her from the others. Do you remember when you walked into my group's room, then I commanded you to walk out from there?"

"Oh, so... you mean... you did it to hide Makihatayama from me?"

"Yes." Doremi said, "That was why, I was so hungry in the morning at the next day."

"Uh, sou ka." Kotake thought for a minute, then asked, "But if you didn't go for the dinner, who did eat your dinner? And also, who did eat Makihatayama's dinner?"

"Huh?"

"Well, I saw that you and Makihatayama went there, just not with the others. I wanted to say something to you, but then you seemed mad with me." Kotake said, "Or... don't say if they weren't you and Makihatayama."

"Uh, okay, Doremi-chan, Kotake-kun, maybe... I and Ai-chan must confess that we... disguised to be..."

"me and Hana-chan, and then went to the restaurant, right?" Doremi continued what Hazuki said, "Demo, doushite?"

"Well, that's because... we didn't see you and Hana-chan in your group's room when we wanted to ask you to get the dinner. Both of you weren't there." Aiko explained, "So, we decided to be both of you. I disguised to be you, and Hazuki-chan disguised to be Hana-chan. On the way to the restaurant, Kotake asked me to talk, but then I shouted to him while kept running."

"Okay, I think... it was my fault to didn't say to you all that I went out from the room with Hana-chan. We've ever gone out for a few minutes, then we came back there." Doremi said, "But hey, it means that both of you got the dinner two times! Didn't you feel..."

"Yeah, we feel that our stomach were already too full after we ate it, so that we felt sick." Hazuki said, "That was why, we didn't take a bath with the others. We couldn't walk out from our room."

"Uh, matte yo! If Makihatayama was back to her original form, then who talked with me in that time, and met Seki-sensei?" asked Kotake, "Fujiwara, was it you?"

"No. Atashi janai wa. Moreover, I was also the group leader in that time, so I should meet Nishizawa-sensei." Hazuki shook of her head, "Maybe... it was between Doremi-chan or Momo-chan."

"It was me, Kotake." said Doremi, "That was why, I know about..."

"Heh? So, futari-tomo talked about something?" asked Momoko, "What was it?"

"Well, I asked 'Hana-chan' to ask my apologize to Doremi, because I had already teased her in that three years." Kotake said.

"Then, I asked him about his reason, but he still didn't tell the real reason." Doremi added, "I think, it was because of what I did in the first and the second grade."

"What did you do in that time?" asked Onpu.

"Uh, anou..." Doremi saw that Kotake didn't want if the others knew about it, so she just could say, "Sore wa..."

"Wasn't your business." Kotake cut what Doremi said.

"Well, if you don't want to tell it, it's okay, Doremi-chan, Kotake-kun. I think... it's better if we're back to what we see now." Aiko said, "Now we know that futari-tomo have ever done the same things: followed the another and made sure that he or she was okay on him or her trip."

"Ai-chan!" Doremi warned Aiko, but she ignored it.

"Kotake-kun, I think... we must confess that we followed you when you had a trip to Mount Fuji by bicycle in the fifth grade."

"We?" asked Kotake, "Who?"

"Doremi-chan, Hazuki-chan, and I. We followed you, because... Doremi-chan worried about you. She concerned with you."

"Worried about me?" said Kotake, then asked to Doremi, "You worried about me?"

"Uh, atashi..." Doremi's cheek blushed, but Aiko still told Kotake about it.

"Yeah, she heard you when you talked about your trip's plan, then she told us about it, so we decided..."

"Decided?" Doremi caught something wrong, "You mean, actually... Majorika and Lala had a role too in this case? They had already know if we..."

"Yes, that's right." Aiko said, "However, we could follow Kotake and the others, right?"

"Uh, okay."

"I and Momo-chan couldn't follow you with them, because we had to go to New York." Onpu said, "Well, I think... Ai-chan's right to say that futari-tomo are care at each other."

Doremi and Kotake saw at each other, and suddenly they said together, "Well, I..."

They didn't continue what they said, but then Doremi asked, "Uh, if you want to tell something, you can do it first."

"Well, I just want to say... thanks for your care to me in that time."

"Uh, atashi mo." Doremi said, "Thanks for your care to me."

Then, they saw the another condition, and it was when Doremi and Kotake lost their way in the forest in the summer camp three years ago.

"Hey, so you didn't only give the first aid to Doremi-chan's wounded ankle and carry her, but also... you gave her your last candy?" asked Momoko, "That's great!"

"Okay, no wonder if both of you are a soul mate." Onpu said, "Care is a small love. It's the seeds of love."

Then, they came back to Maho base camp.

"Alright, we'll go to the another couple." Aiko said, "Hazuki-chan and Yada-kun."

Then, Hazuki and Masaru pushed the button.

They went to the festival in the amusement park ten years ago, when Masaru got his ocarina by winning a game.

"Wow! Hazuki-san, you were so kawaii!" said Anita.

"Mochiron yo. It was when Hazuki-chan and Yada-kun were still in kindergarten." Doremi said.

"Uh, now I know, why both of you thought if your ocarina is your treasure..." said Momoko, "That was why, you just could let me to borrow it when I came to your house four years ago, right Hazuki-chan?"

Hazuki nodded, "Unfortunately, in that time, we had a miscommunication between us."

"Huh, if only I didn't forget about Japanese too much." Momoko sighed, "I must be didn't misunderstand that you just let me to borrow it."

"Daijoubu yo, Momo-chan. You lived in America, in New York, since you were in kindergarten, and it was about six years. You spoke in English about six years, and I understand, that was why... you forgot about Japanese too much, Momo-chan."

"Uh, okay."

Then, they saw the another condition. It was when Hazuki lost her hat, then Masaru gave her his ocarina to change the hat.

"Wow. That was so romantic!" said Onpu.

"Okay, now... maybe we must confess something anymore. I, Doremi-chan, Onpu-chan, and Momo-chan."

"But Ai-chan, what must we confess?" asked Doremi.

"We must confess that we knew about the ocarina not from Hazuki-chan, but because we used magical stage to know why did Hazuki-chan change since she let Momo-chan to borrow her ocarina."

"Yeah, that's right." Momoko agreed, "Hazuki-chan, you must be knew about it, right? At least... when I returned the ocarina back to Yada-kun."

"Yes. I knew it." Hazuki said, "You all must be talked about it when... I decided to go home earlier from Maho-dou, and that was why, you all looked so frightened when I wanted to say about my decision to go home earlier. But actually, what happened after you all used magical stage so that you all knew about the ocarina?"

"Well, suddenly, the ocarina was lightning and speaking. The ocarina told us about its history, and also... asked Momo-chan to return the ocarina back to you." Doremi said.

"But Momo-chan, why did you give it to me?" asked Masaru.

"Umm, actually, I wanted to give it to Hazuki-chan, but on the way, at the bridge, I saw you played your trumpet."

"Then, you came to me and thought if it was better if you gave the ocarina back to me?"

Momoko nodded.

Then, they returned to Maho base camp. They saw another paper appeared beside the first paper.

Doremi read the letter, "That moments proved your care to your couple, and because of that, if futari-tomo, Kotake and Masaru, push the sword's necklace, futari-tomo will transform to be the knightly wizards. Futari-tomo will need the power of these necklaces to protect your own girlfriend."

An hour later...

Kotake and Masaru had already try their own necklace.

Then, Kotake said, "Doremi, can we talk for a few minutes? Just you and I?"

"Hmm, okay, we can." Doremi said, "Let's go to the second floor."

They walked upstairs, to the second floor, and started to talk.

"So, what do you want to talk with me?" asked Doremi.

"Well, I wonder that... if you followed me in my trip to Mount Fuji... don't say if you... were one of the 'high school students' who helped me and the others to have some food for dinner?"

"Uh, that's right, Kotake. That was why, I knew that you cried in that time."

"Sou ka. No wonder if in that time, suddenly, I remembered about you, and that's because you were one of them." Kotake said, "and I think, I know who you were. You were the one who felt angry when I said some bad words about you. No wonder if she was angry, if you were angry, because you are her, and she was you."

"By the way, it makes me want to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Well, did you really want to tease me in front of 'her' in that time? So that... you said some bad words about me?"

"Uh, no. I didn't intend to tease you in front of 'her'. In front of 'onee-san'."

"So, why did you say it?"

"I didn't finish my words yet. Actually, I just wanted to say..." Kotake thought for a minutes, then added, "Although you were clumsy, or whatever, I like you. You're always caring with everybody. Even, you can be the better leader than me."

"Hontou ni? You wanted to say it?"

Kotake nodded.

Doremi hold his hands, "Okay, now I know about it. Let's we walk back to the others, and then, we go home after we talk about what happen today."

Then, they walked downstairs to the first floor.

At 05.00 PM, they went home.
