♡Calcifer♡ (Ch10-14)

Those days,Michael and Sophie were trying to solve the spell again and again, but they didn't solve yet... They might have failed to catch the falling star. I don't know why they are so puzzled about it. I thought i could do better than them. After Howl knew that they were trying to solve the spell that wasn't the spell he gave Michael, they decided to go to find the second verse of that spell.

I thought that there would be some hints for breaking the contract I under. I hoped Sophie can get that there. However, after they came back, we realized that Howl would have to go back to the Witch on Midsummer day. it meant that I also would have to follow with Howl to the Witch. What a awful!! I don't want to be under the contract anymore with anyone!! Breaking the contract before the Midsummer day is most important thing for me now.

That time, Howl seemed that he also had more problem. The King asked him to look for Prince Justin and he would ask him to be a Royal Wizard. He really doesn't want to be. Nether do I. We are demon and Wizard! Why should we have to work for the King? So, he asked Sophie to pretend his mother and blacken his name. It's very ridiculous for me. I felt that I wanted to go to see her and him, but as you know, I can't move out of this hearth... What boring days I spend!!

♡Calcifer♡ (Ch7-9)

 These days, Sophie, Michael and Howl often go out, but I always have to stay in the hearth because of contract!! I found that Michael's sweetheart might be Lettie who Howl is falling love with. Sophie really worried and mystified about that because he is a wizard and girls who is loved by Howl always fall in love with him. What is worse, he is fickle person. If he were really in love with Lettie, it might be all right, but I think he is falling love with her, it's just temporarily. Instead of our worrying, Michael is so jubilant because his sweetheart promised him to engage with him and she will never meet Howl. He is still his teenage but I know he is serious about that. I hope that he will be happy, not Howl. Amazingly, Sophie said she is Lettie's grandaunt. What a small world!!
 One day, before Michael and Sophie went out, Sophie found that a scarecrow was trying to enter our castle. She was threatened by it and asked me to get away from it and I tried to move faster. Actually I felt something bad from it. After Howl came back, he was really indignant that Sophie made me tired, but I didn't care about that. A scarecrow was still near the castle, and Howl forced it go away. I think he felt something strange from it. In this world, many things and people are under the spell including me, so I was wondering whose spell a scerecrow is under.
 After that, Michael was having a trouble with his spell that from Howl. He seemed he had no idea. For me, it was so easy because I am a demon, but it seemed difficult for him because he is still young child. Finally, he asked Sophie to help him but she is just a old woman and she couldn't solve. As a result, they decided to catch a falling star by using a seven-league boot. That boots doesn't work well and a falling star moves so fast so I think it was so difficult for them. Anyway it was not my business, so I just sent them off from my hearth. I felt left out a little bit...

♡Calcifer♡ (Ch4-6)

 My name is Calcifer and I am a fire demon. I live in the Howl's moving castle and I'm moving this castle by using demon power. Actually, I don't live in this castle, I'm bound to the hearth becase of contract between Howl and I. I really want to break this contract, but I can't.
 Someday, a old woman whose name is Sophie came to our castle. And suddenly I found that she was under the spell. And she came here in order to ask Howl to break the spell she under. Then I conceived that we can make a contract that if she can break the contact, I will break the spell. I was not sure whether I will be able to do or not, but it's no problem for me because I am demon!
 She decided to be a new cleaning lady of this castle, and I was surprised that Michael and even Howl didn't force her to leave. At first,I thought it was good for us, but after she started to working as cleaning lady, I wished that I would have never made a contract with her!! Because she threatend me and tried to clean everywhere in the castle !! And she always speaks loudly and shouted !! What was worse, even Howl was damaged because of her cleaning. I don't want her to stay, but I know I heve to stand for it in order to achieve our bargain, so I hope she would be better than now. And I have to look for the way to break the spell she under in order to force her to leave here!!

♡Sophie♡ (Ch1-3)

 My name is Sophie Hatter, the eldest of three sisters. As the eldest, I know I am the one in misfortune. My sisters are Lettie and Martha. After my father died, my mother couldn't afford to let us go to the school therefore we wanted to study. And I would be apprenticed to hat shop where Funny has and I will inherit this shop. I thought it was so bored and made me bored, but I accepted because I had to be dutiful. After I went to meet Lettie, I found that Funny is unkinfd and wasn't willing to pay me. I felt that I was exploted and disappointed. After that, I tried to anger the customer because I wanted to trouble Funny. When a woman and a boy entered the shop and complained about hat, I felt angry and retorted strongly. That was my misfortune! She was astually Witch of the Waste, and she made me old woman by using magic.
  I was calm and I tried to leave the shop. When I was walking on the hill, I came across three things, an old scarecrow, a dog and a shepherd. As it was dark, I had to find the safe plece. Then, I found that howl's moving castle was rumbling and bumping torward me!! I thought tha I am too old to be eaten by Howl, so I decided to enter Howl's moving castle. It was not easy to enter the castle, because ther were invisible wall... but finally I could get into the castle.
 Inside of the castle, there was Michael who is Howl's apprentice. He seemed not to welcome me, but I didn't care and decided to wait for Howl in order to ask him for breaking the spell. When I was alone, the fireplece talked to me. He said he was bound to the hearth and he could break her spell. And he recommended about the bargain that if I can break the contract between Howl and him, he would break her spell. I was confused whether it was safe or not for me. But finally I decided to make the bargain with him and we realized that it would take a long time, approximately 1 month. In order to persuade Howl to admit me to stay the castle, we had to find an excuse... I wondered where my life would go, but I thought the way I could go was only one.
