Ojamajo Doremi-Poppu Heart-Star
Chapter 28 – The Precious Family
"Well, minna, anata-tachi, ready to go home now?"
"Oi! We're ready to go home!"
"Alright. Let's we go home now."
Pop and the other fifth graders, with their homeroom teachers, Mr. Harukaze, the Heart and all of their friends who participated in the summer camp went home. Before they went, they have ever got their breakfast at the camp, and just like at the lunch and the dinner yesterday, Doremi fed Pop. Pop felt a bit embarrassed, but she didn't have choice. She had to eat, but her right arm was broken.
In the bus, Pop asked Anita and Ranami, "Futari-tomo, do you want to laugh at me, because I got help from onee-chan to eat my food?"
"No. Of course not, Poppu-chan." Anita said, "We understand that you can't use your own right hand."
"That's right, Poppu-chan." Ranami agreed, "You need it."
Then, Erika said, "By the way, Poppu-chan, when will you be able to use your own right hand again?"
"Wakkanai. Even so, otousan will bring me to the doctor to check it out more, after we arrive at school."
"I hope it can't be too long." Anita said, "I don't want to see if it will happen until the next semester begin."
"Atashi mo." Pop sighed, "I don't want if I must ask you all to write some subject notes for me, or do my homework, or the worst... you do my test."
Ranami laughed, "Of course not. I don't wanna see it happen."
Kimitaka came to them, "Gomen, Poppu. If I didn't force you yesterday, it wouldn't happen with you."
"Daijobu yo, Kimitaka. It had already happened, so..." said Pop, "Moreover, I want to say... thanks for your first aid yesterday. It made me felt better."
"Never mind. In the soccer club, they tell me some injuries that can happen when we play, and also, the first aid."
"Uh, wakatta."
"Huh, Poppu-chan, we're so envy with you. You have a great older sister. I see that she loves you so much." Erika said.
"That's why, I love her too. She always does everything to make me happy."
"Sou ka. You have ever told me that she supported you to start to learn to play piano five years ago, although..."
"Well, that's one of them, Anita-chan." Pop said, "She always helps me when I need it, except... if I need help to do my homework, or to learn all subjects from school. She can't help me for that ones."
Pop yawned and added, "However, she's my inspiration."
Meanwhile, the Heart and the other tutors, with the homeroom teachers and Mr. Harukaze were evaluating the summer camp.
"Everyone, thanks for your help to be the tutors for the fifth graders, and... Mr. Harukaze, thanks for your suggestion to have them as the tutors, and also, to change the grade of the participants of the summer camp, from the sixth graders to the fifth graders."
"Well, daijoubu da yo. I just think if it will be better if the students have their memory since in the fifth grade."
The tutors nodded, agreed with what Mr. Harukaze said.
When they finished to evaluated the summer camp, Mr. Harukaze said to the tutors, "Well, I'm very proud of you all. You've already helped your juniors to do all activities in the summer camp."
He saw his first daughter, "Especially, I'm proud of you."
"Uh, otousan..." said Doremi, "I just do what I can do, and it isn't a big things."
"I don't think so. You've already done much things, Doremi. You didn't only helped the fifth graders from your group, but also, you helped Poppu to get her food since yesterday."
"That's my duty, otousan. I'm her older sister. That's what older sister is for. I'll feel guilty with you and okaasan if I can't help her."
"I know, that's why... I recommended you as a tutor for the summer camp."
"Huh, okay otousan." Doremi sighed.
"Kotake."
"Uh, yes, Mr." said Kotake, "Doushita?"
"I think... you're a responsible boy. Maybe... someday, we'll be a family. I trust you that you'll take care of my first daughter carefully."
When Doremi and Kotake heard it, they cheek were blushing.
Doremi thought, 'Otousan, I know that you'll think about it.'
Kotake said, "Uh, we still need a long time later to talk about it. Moreover, we still in the middle school."
"But I see that futari-tomo are loving each other, and it makes me remember about the time before I got married with my wife."
Doremi asked, "Okaasan?"
"Yes, of course. Okaasan." Mr. Harukaze slapped Kotake's shoulder, "and now, I want you to call me 'otousan'."
"Ah, otousan? Hontou ni? Are you serious?" asked Doremi, "It means, you..."
"Hontou. I agree with your relationship."
"Uh, otousan, thanks for your support."
"Okay..." Kotake took a deep breath, then he said, "Otousan, I promise, I won't make you feel disappointed."
"Ms. Harukaze Poppu?"
"Hai."
Pop, with Doremi and their father went to the doctor to check Pop's right arm. Pop walked into the examined room, then the doctor examined her right arm.
Then, when Pop and the doctor walked out from the room, Doremi asked the doctor, "Doctor, how about... my younger sister? Daijobu ka? When will she can use her right hand again?"
"Well, fortunately, it isn't a serious bone fracture, but... Poppu must wait until at least... a week after today."
"Then, can I use my right hand?" asked Pop.
"So yo. Even so, you must still be careful to use it. Maybe, you'll feel a bit hurt when you try to use your right hand."
"Okay, arigatou, doctor." said Pop, "Otousan, onee-chan, let's we go home!"
On the way to their house, Doremi sighed, "Huh, nande? Why does okaasan go to Fukuyama for a week? We just went for the summer camp about three days. San nichi. Or... don't say that, she wants us to do all house chores, and that's why she goes there."
"Daijobu da yo, onee-chan. I know that we can do it." Pop said, "Moreover, someday, we'll do it when we have our own family."
"Huh, I think, that's up to you, Doremi, Poppu. I just hope that I'll see that futari-tomo find your own soul mate and get married someday." Mr. Harukaze said, "Although it means, you'll leave me and okaasan, to live with your own husband."
"Otousan..." said Doremi and Pop, then they laughed.
"Huh, yokatta ne, okaasan doesn't know if... my right arm..."
"Ah, you're right. Okaasan must be worried if she knows about it." Doremi said, "Well, maybe it's better if we let her to have her own vacation."
"Sou sou." Pop said, "But by the way, otousan, can we go to Fukuyama to meet obaasan and ojiisan, and also, to spend some days from our summer vacation there again? I want to introduce all of my friends to obaasan and ojiisan."
"Hey, nice idea, Poppu." Doremi agreed, "This time, we can invite, Anita-chan, Ran-chan, Machi-chan, and Dira-chan to go there, to follow us."
"Well, how about your best friends?" asked their father to Doremi, "Hazuki, Aiko, Onpu, and Momoko. They must be happy if we invite them again."
"Sou da yo ne."
"Otousan, you forget about one person." Pop said, "Obaasan and ojiisan must know about their would be grandson-in-law."
"Anou, Poppu..." Doremi's cheek was blushing, "Do you mean that we must introduce Kotake to obaasan and ojiisan?"
"I think, it isn't wrong. Poppu's right." said their father, "We invite him."
"Uh, okay."
"Yeah, however, I know that Anita-chan, Ran-chan, Machi-chan, and Dira-chan must be happy to meet obaasan and ojiisan."
"Well, I imagine that they'll asked ojiisan to let them sit down on his lap, like what we did four years ago."
"They can do it. Even so, I can't imagine that you and your friends still want to do it." Pop said.
"Chotto!"
They walked into their house, then walked into their own room.
They didn't know that Mrs. Harukaze decided to went home today.
Yeah, she went home. She arrived at night, when her husband and her daughters got their dinner (of course, Doremi fed Pop).
"Tadaima!"
"Okaeri!"
Doremi, Pop, and their father realized that she went home.
Doremi asked, "Heh, okaasan? You're home? But you said that..."
"Well, I think, it's better if I go home when you all go home too. Moreover, ojiisan was okay now." Mrs. Harukaze saw Pop's right arm, "By the way, Poppu, what happened with your right arm?"
"Uh, just a little accident." Pop said, "Daijoubu yo, okaasan."
"So so. It's just like me three years ago. A little accident." Doremi said.
"But, it isn't a seriously injured, right?"
"Daijoubu. I'm fine. I'll open the bandage next week."
"Next week?"
"Yes."
"Well, that isn't a long time." said their mother, "Okay, okaasan will be the additional right hand for you, okay?"
"Atashi mo." Doremi said, "I'll do it too."
"Onee-chan..."
"I'm your older sister, Poppu. I have duty to do it. That's why, I'll do it. Just for you."
"Uhm, do you all forget about me?" asked their father, "I'll do anything for my family."
"Uh, okaasan, otousan, onee-chan... you all are really a great family for me. I'm so lucky to have you all beside me." Pop said.
Dodo and Fafa saw them from the living room. They disguised to be two cats (as the adult fairies, they can change to be the cats).
"What a nice family!" said Dodo, "Doremi and Poppu are so lucky to have parents like them."
"I agree with you, Dodo." Fafa said, "By the way, if I was in Poppu-chan's position... I mean, if I wounded like Poppu-chan now, what will you do?"
"Like Doremi. I'll be your right hand, and that's because... you're like my younger sister."
"Huh, okay, 'onee-chan'."
They laughed, then walked upstairs and changed to be their regular appearance.
Suddenly, Fafa said, "Anou, Dodo."
"Doushita no, Fafa?"
"Can I really call you 'onee-chan'?"
"Eh? Demo, atashi..."
"Uh, so I can't." Fafa sighed, "Huh, if only you know that I like you. I like you more than the others. More than Rere, Mimi, Roro, or Nini. I think... you're the best."
"Sonna koto nai yo." Dodo shook of her head, "I just... can't believe that you can say it. Why do you want to call me 'onee-chan'? I'm the most careless fairy of all, and also, I've ever underestimated you in our first meeting. Don't you remember?"
"Underestimate? Dodo, I just remember that you hold my shoulder and told me about Hana-chan, and for your careless, I don't care about it." Fafa moved her sight to the first floor, "Don't you see Poppu-chan and Doremi? Firstly, Poppu-chan called Doremi just... well, she just called her name, but when their relationship became better, and Poppu-chan was in the first grade at the elementary school, she called her 'onee-chan', and she doesn't care even though Doremi still... careless. Onegai, Dodo. Let me call you 'onee-chan', okay?"
"Huh, well... if you think that... it's better for you to call me 'onee-chan', I don't mind. You can call me 'onee-chan'."
"Hontou ni?" Fafa smiled, "Arigatou, Dodo. Uh, I mean... onee-chan."
After the Harukaze's family got their dinner, Pop asked Doremi to walked into Pop's room. Dodo and Fafa saw them walked into Pop's room, so they flew up, followed them.
"Doushita no, Poppu? What things that you want to say to me?" asked Doremi.
"Well, I want to know... what were you doing with the others when we went to Fukuyama in the summer vacation four years ago? I heard that ojiisan and otousan found you all at the mountain. Or, don't say that... you all climbed the mountain to find out... the secret of the frog stone?"
"That's right. We really wanted to know about it, so... we climbed the mountain."
"Chotto! Doushite? Why didn't you all ask me to follow you there?"
"Gomen, gomen. We went there when you slept with okaasan." Doremi explained, "Moreover, we were afraid if you said to ojiisan about it. You know that he forbade us to see the frog stone, right?"
"Demo, doushite? Why did you all still want to see it although ojiisan forbade us?"
"Well, you know me, right? If there's something interesting near with me, I'll try to know about it more."
"Huh, okay, I know it." Pop sighed, "So, what did you all find there? Can I know about it?"
"Sure, but I think... it's better if I tell about it more when we go there next week."
"Huh, onee-chan. Let me know more about it now. At least... let me know about... actually, what's the frog stone? Is it a statue of a regular frog? Or... is it a witch frog statue?"
"Well, it was a witch frog statue."
"Hwa, omo shiroi." Pop said, "Promise to me that you'll tell me and the other Star more about it there, okay?"
"Okay, I promise." Doremi said. She yawned and walked to the door, "Well, I'm sleepy now. Oyasumi."
"Chotto matte, onee-chan."
"Eh, doushita no?"
"Uh, I just want you to know that... I'm so happy to have a precious family like you and our parents."
"Wakatta. I think so, Poppu." Doremi walked out from Pop's room, "Jaa, oyasumi."
"Oyasumi."
Then, Pop laid on her bed and slept.
