Chapter 5 A Visitor For Witch
Let's start our chat story
Chinatsu
*opens the fridge*
Mom
Oh, that looks yummy. Give me a bite?
Her mom took a bite of pudding!
Mom
Mhm. It is yummy. Thank you.
Chinatsu
Are you going somewhere?
Mom
Yup. Groceries for dinner.
Mom
Want to come, Chinatsu?
Chinatsu
Nah. I'll stay in. There's a show I wanna watch.
Mom
What? Aren't you eating some right now?
Chinatsu
For Kei and Makoto!
Mom
Oh, I see! Isn't that sweet of you!
Then Chinatsu said bye to her mom and after that she entered the living room and started watching TV...
Makoto
Oh, Chinatsu, listen to this!!
Makoto
I made it back home all by myself today! Straight back, without getting lost!!
Chinatsu
Ah! It's true! Kei isn't with you...
Makoto
Kei and Nao both had things to do,
Makoto
So I tried getting home by myself.
Makoto
Ahh! I've finally learned the way.
Makoto
I'm getting a better sense of direction.
Makoto
I have to write it down in my diary, so I don't Forget this happy moment !!
Makoto
*gone to wrong room*
Makoto
Oh, it was this way...
Chinatsu
You write in it every day?
Harbinger
Hello! Excuse me!
Harbinger
Uhm... Excuse me...
Chinatsu
*Coming back to the living room*
Chinatsu
...Uhmm, newspaper delivery, I guess...
Chinatsu
Makoto, what's the number for 911?
Harbinger
H— Hey! Young lady!
Harbinger
I don't mean any harm!
Harbinger
I'm certainly not going to eat you.
Harbinger
Please... Would you open up?
Chinatsu
VERY SHADY! TOTALLY A BAD GUY!
Chinatsu
Ma... Makoto!! 911!!
Chinatsu
What number is 911?!
Makoto
Chinatsu, calm down.
Makoto
He's not a bad guy.
Meanwhile on the other side!...
Harbinger
Now what do I do...
Harbinger
I heard this was the place, but...
Makoto
You're the Harbinger, right?
Harbinger
Yeah! That's me!
Harbinger
So if you know who I am, you must be the witch who moved here not too long ago, right?
Makoto
Sorry about all that. She's never seen a Harbinger before, so I think she was just startled...
Harbinger
Not at all, not at all. My fault for coming over with no warning.
Harbinger
Sorry I scared you there!
Harbinger
Uh-oh, I don't think she likes me.
Makoto
Please don't be scared, Chinatsu.
Makoto
Let me introduce you properly.
Makoto
THIS IS THE HARBINGER OF SPRING.
Makoto
He has a very important job— to send away winter and bring along spring.
Harbinger
*In His Mind* oh, no, it's nothing, really...
Chinatsu
Bring along spring?
Makoto
That's right! Kind of like a fairy of the spring.
Makoto
*In Her mind* See, not scary at all!
Chinatsu
*In Her Mind* A fairy ...?
Makoto
Anyway, what brings you here today?
Harbinger
I almost forgot.
Chinatsu
*In Her Mind* They're not like I imagined ...
Harbinger
My work's all done over here.
Harbinger
I'll be on my way soon.
Harbinger
But I heard a novice witch came to these parts...
Harbinger
So I thought I'd stop by to say hi and get a little pick-me-up.
Makoto
Oh, I see! How nice! Thank you for coming.
Harbinger
Pleasure's mine. Do you have a good pick-me-up?
Makoto
Oh, I did come by something great the other day!
Harbinger
*In His Mind* Oh-
Harbinger
This is mandrake, isn't it?!
Makoto
I've removed the poison, so all you have to do is chop it up and steep to make tea.
Harbinger
Thanks! Are you sure, though? I feel bad talking about something so precious...
Makoto
Oh, no– you're welcome to it!
Makoto
We have such a lovely spring each year thanks to you.
Harbinger
I couldn't do it without the support of you witches.
Harbinger
Okay, I better get going. Thank you so much!
Makoto
Come back if I can do anything else for you.
Harbinger
is that little girl a witch, too?
Makoto
No. She's a relative of mine, but she's not a witch.
Harbinger
You know, I'd like to apologize for scaring her...
Harbinger
Would you please give her this?
Makoto
Haah... That was a shock, wasn't it?
Makoto
Are you still scared?
Chinatsu
I'm still scared of his face...
Makoto
HERE YOU GO, CHINATSU.
Chinatsu
Ooh! They're so pretty!
Chinatsu
Where'd you get them?
Makoto
The Harbinger wanted to give you the seas a present.
Makoto
He said he doesn't want you to hate him.
Chinatsu
Mako... Will the Harbinger come again next year?
Unknown person: What year is it?
Unknown person: I'm asking what year it is by the Western calendar.
Unknown person: oh, wow, that late already? So she's left home by now.
Unknown person: yeah, Makoto. Wonder if she's doing okay...
Unknown person: All right!
Unknown person: let's go and check on her, shall we?
