"Hey, Asuna-san?"
"Hmmm?"
"Do you think I will be a good teacher?"
"As long as you don't give up."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She's alive.
As she holds my hand on top of Chao-san's and Hakase's giant hourglass shaped
curse removing machine that thought echoes over and over again in my mind.
Asuna's alive. We did it. All of us, together.
I know there will be consquences for this later for the forbidden actions I committed.
Trying to make a demon contract, endangering my class, timetraveling to change the past,
and having my mage status revealed to so many people, all of them are serious crimes.
And I would gladly repeat them all in a heartbeat to achieve the same result.
This girl, she has become very precious to me. She is my student, my friend, my pactio partner,
and yet she is more to me then just those simple labels. Asuna is Asuna.
Ah, she's starting to turn red all of a sudden. Did something happen?
"Asuna-san," I ask her hesitatingly.
"It was you," She whispers back.
"Eh?"
What is she talking about? What did...Ow! My hand! Her grip is suddenly tightening quite painfully.
"Asuna-san, you're hurting my hand."
When she turns to face me, I finally recognize the look on her face. It's embarrassment,
but on a scale I haven't seen since the time I accidently blew her panties off in front
of Takahata-sensei with a sneeze.
"I remember now. You're the one. Back when I was a kid, you were older then me when you rescued me."
"Yes," I admitted, not seeing what was the matter here.
"So that's why I started to like older men. Because I imprinted on *YOU* back then!"
"Oh is that all....WHAAAAAAAAAT?!!!"
She's got to be kidding. Right? Right?!
"So how do you intend to take responsibility for that?!"
"Eh?! Responsibility?! But even if you say that Asuna-san, I'm only ten years old!"
"That's not a good enough excuse!"
Asuna's breathing hard and her eyes look really scary, all full of flame and fury.
At least, I think its fury.
"Ho-ho-ho, Boya. Looks like your troubles have just begun."
I turn to see the little blonde schoolgirl vampire mage has somehow made it up here with us.
"Evangeline-san, what are you talking about?"
"Now is that any way to address you precious pactio partner?"
"Huh? But that was...."
My words die in my mouth and drop into a pit at the very bottom of my stomach when she pulls out
an all too familiar card from her school uniform.
The proof of contract. The partner card created by the pactio circle Kammo created during
that desperate battle with the demons in the past. Eva's face smiles evilly from the picture card.
But I thought-
"You thought everything would go back to normal, right boya?"
"Y-yes."
"Did you really think it would be that easy? That you'd escape the consquences of your actions?"
"Negi."
I have a bad feeling about the sound of the tone of Asuna's voice. But at least
she let go of my hand. I was starting to lose all feeling from the wrist down.
"You made a contract...with HER?!"
Huh? Did she forget about that?
"We did it to save you, Asuna-san. Remember all the demons?"
She's remembering something, but somehow I don't think its a good thing.
"Nodoka, Yue, Makie, Kaede...AYAKA?!!!"
"Yes, that's it. Watching you get jealous is very amusing."
""Evangeline-san! You're not helping here!"
"Ah, Negi-sensei."
This new polite and soft voice is totally unexpected. I turn around to see....Chachamaru?!
She tilts her head slightly as she hovers at the edge of the platform.
"Chachamaru-san, what are you doing?"
"You appeared to be in distress, Negi-Sensei...no, I mean Master."
"Master," I echo in a stunned tone.
"Master?!"
Asuna isn't taking this any better then I am from the sound of it.
"Yes, Master. I am now your partner as well as Master's partner."
I start to feel dizzy. This can't be happening to me!
"N-E-G-I~!"
I turn back around to face Asuna again. Big Mistake. Suddenly I wish
I was back in the past fighting demons. They were less scary looking.
I take a step back from her, but there's nothing waiting under my foot but empty space.
"Wah!"
"Ah, Master!"
I'm falling! I'm...feeling a very familar soft sensation on my back all of a sudden.
"Negi-bozu, you need to be more careful de-gozaru."
"Nagase-san?"
"Nin-nin. More training in the mountains together seems to be needed de-gozaru."
As she sets me down on the ground and I get back to my feet, I realize the rest of the class
is gathering around. All of them are holding something in their hands. I'm getting a familiar
sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.
It couldn't be.
"Negi-sensei!"
It's Ayaka, the class representative, calling me. She's got *that* look on her face again.
"Ah, here is the proof of dear Negi-Sensei's kiss!"
Oh Dear Spirits of Magic, what have I done?!
Those are pactio cards! They all remember what happened?!
I'm going to be turned into an ermine for sure now!!!
Something of the panic I'm feeling must be showing up on my face, because they back up
to give me a little space. Frantically turning to the first pair of eyes in sight,
its to find Nodoka's cutely blushing features confronting me.
"Ah, Nodoka-san...."
What can I say to her? Her feelings must be-
"I know I'm inexperienced but please look after me from now on, Negi-Sensei!"
My jaw drops as she bows from the waist to me.
I may have only spent a few months in Japan but even I've heard that phrase
used before. Its something a newly married wife says to her husband.
Can this possibly get any worse?
Yue steps into view and gives me a thumbs up, though the effect is spoiled
by the fact that she is holding a pactio card possessively in her other hand.
"Don't worry Negi-Sensei. Fight-o!"
Silly me, of course it can.
"Negi-kun! I've got a treat for my cute little partner!"
Makie's voice fades into a dull roaring in my ears as total panic seizes me in its cold clutches.
I search for an escape route.
Finding one, I take it with all due haste.
