English description Japanese description Minions of the witch of chocolates. A Familiar born to wrap up their Witch, who has nothing. They take all their Witch's loneliness and sorrow, and lovingly bundle it up in their vivid, colorful bodies. These Familiars adorn their Witch in the hope that someday, someone will receive it as a gift, but it lacks the confidence to believe this is possible, which they think is a real shame. 何も持たない魔女を包み隠すために生まれた手下。その彩が豊かな身体で、魔女の孤独も悲しみも、すべて愛らしくパッケージングしてくれる。手下自身は、いつか自分たちが彩った魔女が誰かに貰われてくれるのを楽しみにしているが、魔女自身にその自信が持てないので、残念に思っている。

Her name, Matasaburo, is a reference to a Japanese short stories named Kazeno Matasaburō and Kaze no Matasaburō written by Kenji Miyazawa. In these stories, Matasaburō is a mysterious child who disappears about ten days after they came to a rural elementary school.
- The former novel is a predecessor work of latter one and they are different in content. In the event story in which she appears, it is quoted poems from both of them. In the poem in former one, ざくろ (pomegranates, zakuro) appear, but it is replaced by other fruits, walnuts and Chinese quinces in the poem in latter one. Therefore, Zakuro, the familiars of the Witch, may be named after the poem in former novel.
