CHAPTER 1 - THE PARIS DIVA
PART 04
After enjoying the buffet breakfast at the hotel, we split up and nated tourist spots on the list
Aside froe and the Montparnasse Tower, the other locations were all situated near the city center That was a relief, since I knew I always get lost easily Thanks to the fairies’ arrival, ere also able to stake out one location each After that, we had a late lunch at a cafe along Shanzelize Street
From the cafe, we had a view of the storefronts of all the most popular brands in the world Paris really was the fashi+on capital
The fashi+on styles of the people walking along the street were great too, but personally, I felt that the styles in Harajuku and shi+buya werefor me
Munching on sandwiches made with French bread, we made decisions on who should stake out the three entrances connecting the human and witch worlds
Momo-chan and Majorika would head to Majocollete’s antique store, Hazuki-chan and Ai-chan to the MAHO-do, while Onpu-chan and I were in-charge of the entrance in Père-Lachaise cemetery The fairies would accompany their respective partners
~~~~~~
Onpu-chan and I boarded theit at about three-thirty in the afternoon By the way, the underground trains in Paris were known as the metro, rather than the subway, like in japan
There, we cliates of the cemetery soon came into view
Huh? Was this really a cereenery, so unlike those in japan It definitely looked more like a park
The cely at randoet lost… But Onpu-chan stepped inside without any hesitation,her way quickly to the inforrounds
The raves of all the famous people buried here
I opened up the guidebook I brought from japan, and learned that the cemetery covered an area of 40 hectares We’d take some time to reach the incinerator located in the Northern part of the cemetery
There were graves of all sizes scattered around, soe ones with impressive entrances, and several decorated with statues beautiful enough to be displayed in a museum
The graves of the famous, like Yves Montand and Edith Piaf’s, were decorated with lots of colorful flowers I didn’t kno long it had been since their deaths, but it was clear that they were still dearly missed even now
…Quote: Onpu-chan Haha
The only faer of A CDs
He was a legendary rock star who died young frorave was plain and unadorned, surrounded by a small fence I wondered why he chose to be buried in Paris, since he was an American I made a note to ask Dad when I went home
It was a weekday afternoon, so I was surprised to find the ceroups, as well as locals out for a stroll or jog So on benches, which further made the place seem like a park rather than a cemetery
I eating a little fro breeze was really refreshi+ng
We finally reached the incinerator, concealed behind a grove of trees, and quenched our thirst ater fro amiably as aited for Hana-chan to appear
I told Onpu-chan hts about the musical yesterday, and she told me some funny stories about the staff and cast members when they did their London and Paris shows
Meanwhile, we kept in contact via text e with Momo-chan and Ai-chan It seemed that Hana-chan had yet to appear at their locations too
As the sun started to sink towards the western horizon, Onpu-chan grew increasingly quiet Even when I told her the trials and tribulations of becoave only half-hearted replies, her expression clouded
“What’s wrong, Onpu-chan?” I finally asked
“Huh?”
“You’re not talking much anymore”
“Oh I’m sorry……”
Onpu-chan’s gaze fell to the ground
I stared at her profile, wondering as on her mind
I guess she wassome kind of decision
Time passed in silence
Dodo and Roro were napping on the branches of the tree above our heads, and I could hear their quiet breaths
It happened when the sun had sunk below the horizon, and the world entered twilight
Slowly lifting her head, Onpu-chan gazed straight at me
“Doremi-chan… I’ll become a witch apprentice too”
I knew it
“But you’ve ic Do you really want to change that?”
“It’s true that I’ve always rejected the opportunity to becoain, but…”
