[Insert text: Wanting to enjoy herself, yet unable to do so... ah, the troubles of being a knight!♡]

Setsuna: O - Of course, Ojou-sama... / But... ah- !
Konoka: You've gotta relax after all that hard work in the ruins!
Setsuna: B - But Ojou-sama, we do not know what might happen tomorrow... / Should we really be doing things like...

Setsuna: [aside]ah...[/aside] // Aaahhhhh, how did I somehow end up so relaxed~~~~~?!
Girl: [aside]Mama, look at those people...[/aside]
Mother: [aside]quiet, dear, please, just ignore them...[/aside]
Setsuna: (K - K - Konoka-ojousama's soothing powers are a force to be reckoned with!)
Strangers: Hey, girlie, you're pretty cute. // How about a spot of tea?
Konoka: Oh, sure!
Setsuna: [aside]...wait...[/aside] / Ojou-sama~~~~~~~~~~?!! // How could you think of accompanying a pair of rogues like that for tea?!
Stranger: [aside]the heck...[/aside]
Setsuna: Honestly... you should learn to have at least a little wariness about you! We are all wanted people - you never know what might happen!
Konoka: Ehehe~~~~~ So you're worried about me, huh, Secchan~? // That makes me real happy~!♡
Setsuna: Ahh...

Setsuna: (Aaahhhhh, that beautifully innocent smile...)
Konoka: ?
Setsuna: (When I think that only a year ago I could not even talk to you, Ojou-sama... my head starts spinning and I hardly know what to think...) // [aside]aaahhhh...[/aside] // (I... Is this what they call "happiness"? I... Is this truly right, I wonder...? // No... It cannot be... can it?! // It is because of this that I am falling behind the likes of Tsukuyomi!! // Ngh... Could it be that the price of this glorious happiness is my skill with the blade...? // I... I truly am... a failure as a warrior!! // But wait... if I am no longer worthy to be a warrior, then what should be done...? Who will protect Ojou-sama...? Negi-sensei...? Hm... // I daresay Negi-sensei could handle it... // His recent growth has been astounding... No, no, no, no, what am I thinking...?! // More importantly, I can hardly see one such as myself, with no redeeming features besides my skill with the blade, finding work with one of the corporations in the outside world...)
Imaginary!Setsuna: That comes to ¥840. / Shall I heat the meal up for you?
Setsuna: (I daresay I could handle a simple part-time job at a convenience store... but could I truly hope to support Ojou-sama on a part-time wage...? // [aside]Hm? What am I even thinking...?[/aside])
[TN: Am I allowed to squee at this entire sequence?]
Konoka: What's wrong, Secchan?
Setsuna: Aahhh! N - N - Nothing at all...!

Emily: (Megalomesembrian Heavy Magic Armoured Troops!!)
Negi: ?
Emily: (And worse... Megalomesembrian Trustee and Governor-General of New Ostia... // Megalomesembrian Senator Kurt Gödel!!) // Governor-General Gödel... Forgive me if I am mistaken, but I was under the impression that for the duration of this festival... // ...the only governmental armed forces permitted within the city of Ostia were to be those of the Ariadne Knights.
Gödel: Ah, well, you see... I have had a frail physical constitution since an early age. It is a little embarrassing, but I am unable to even walk around in public safely without an escort...

6-7
Gödel: These are what you might call my entirely private bodyguards. // Please, pay them no mind.
Collet/Yue: (A liar~~?!!)
Negi: Governor-General... / (Come to think of it, I seem to recall glimpsing this man at the televised ceremony...) // Ah!
Emily: (Bea, take care of him.)
Beatrix: (Understood.)
Emily: And...? // What brings your ever-so-frail self all the way out here, Governor-General?
Gödel: Well, you see, it is the strangest thing... / We at the Government-General received word a short while ago of a number of young ladies causing something of an... indecent disturbance in the middle of the shopping district. Unable to bring myself to ignore such flagrant disrespect for public decency in my city, I hurried to the scene without delay...

8
Gödel: But of course the deviants captured in these photographs... // ...could not possibly be yourselves, now, could they?
Emily: Of course not!!!
Gödel: Well, that is a relief! I dare not think what commotion it might cause were the media to expose the mighty maiden Knights defending our fair city as broad-daylight strippers!
Bodyguards: [aside]that's our Governor-General! // he knows what he's talking about!![/aside]
Gödel: Well, then, I will just reproduce these pieces of evidence and have my subordinates carry out a thorough investigation...
Emily: What~~~~?!!
Gödel: Now, then... / Joking aside... // As I believe I mentioned, I have the strangest feeling that I have seen that young man somewhere before.
Emily: !
Gödel: Where could it have been, I wonder...? // Let's see... Could it have been the international listings of dangerous and wanted criminals...? No, no, that can't be it...
Emily: (Ngh... this isn't good, Yue-san...)
Yue: (I can see that. There is clearly something deeper going on here. / [aside]that message earlier from President Seras...[/aside])
Emily: (So you reached the same conclusion... that makes things quicker.)
Gödel: Ah, yes! That's right, I remember!

9
Gödel: Why, I do believe you are the son of the legendary hero who saved our very world! // Or perhaps a slightly different description is in order... // Orphan son of the Queen of Calamity, witch who destroyed her own country and people... // Arika Anarchia Entheophysia...!
Negi: (!!!)

10
Loli1: Aah~! / [aside]my balloon...![/aside]
Setsuna: ... // (Such a pristine and peaceful scene... / How could one such as myself ever dare to wish for more than this...?)

11
Flashback!Tsukuyomi: As long as you're still human, you can't defeat me!
Flashback!Eva: You used to have the bearing of a naked blade about you...
Setsuna: (The sword...? Or simple happiness...? // Surely it cannot be... that in gaining this happiness... / I, who was a blade with the sole purpose of protecting Ojou-sama... // ...have been reduced to a mere human being...?)
Flashback!Tsukuyomi: Even with all those skills, you're still human.
Setsuna: (Have I become a mere human... // ...and horribly dulled my blade in the process...?!! // This is terrible... // Ngh... As I am now... // I cannot hope to protect Ojou-sama...!)
Konoka: Secchan?

12
Konoka: Is something wrong?
Setsuna: (It is just as Evangeline-san said... Truly, she bears the wisdom of age! // As long as I remain by Ojou-sama's side, my blade will dull, and I will find myself unable to protect her...! // Wh... What on Earth...)

13
Setsuna: (What on Earth should I do?!)
Konoka: Aahh...
Setsuna: (I... Is there nothing for it but to keep my distance from her, as I did before...? Ngh... // What should I do...?!) // [aside]ngaaahhhhh![/aside]
Konoka: (She didn't even notice...?)

14
Setsuna: Eh...? Ojo... // ?!
[TN: *continues to squee*]
Loli2: [aside]waahh~!♡[/aside]
Setsuna: Wh... Wh - What are you doing all of a sudden?! / [aside]I - I - In front of all these people...![/aside]
Konoka: You were worrying just now, weren't you? About whether your blade had dulled, whether you'd got weaker...
Loli1: [aside]aahh~![/aside]
Setsuna: Why - wha - ho - how did you...?! / [aside]are you psychic?![/aside]
Konoka: Oh, I know everything about you, silly! / [aside]well, it was partly because I heard about it from Eva-chan, but...[/aside] // Secchan... // Have you ever thought about what you might do in the future?
Setsuna: ?! // [aside]wh... why would you say...?![/aside]

15
Konoka: ...Being happy isn't something that makes you weaker. Happiness can make you stronger than ever before. // And helping out those people who aren't happy right now, or who are going through all different kinds of trouble... / ...that's the job of a Magister Magi.
Setsuna: Ojou... / ...sama...?
Konoka: And look, Secchan - I bet you were thinking it would've been better if you'd never brought me to the Magic World, that it had all been a terrible mistake, right?
Setsuna: Eh? I - I, ah...
Konoka: But that's not true at all. // I'm glad I came here. / All the things I've been through since I arrived... // ...have helped me finally settle on what I want to do with my life. // I'm going to become a Magister Magi someday. // A great mage like Negi-kun's father and mother.
Setsuna: ...!

16
Konoka: ...And I was thinking... / It would be great if when I do achieve that, Secchan... // ...you could be by my side as my partner, like you've always been. / ...How about it?
Setsuna: (What a fool I have been... thinking her a mere innocent...) // ...! // O... / Of course, Ojou-sama!! // (Why, look at her... // She has been considering this far better than I!) // You need not even ask such a question!! I, Setsuna, will protect you if it costs me my own...
Konoka: All right~~~~~~!♡
Setsuna: Aaaahhhhh~~?!
Konoka: Are you ready?
Chamo: [aside]heh... // 'bout time!♡[/aside]
Konoka: Just close your eyes...
Setsuna: A... // All... All right...

17
Konoka: Awwww, Secchan, you're so silly, shaking all over like that! // Even though you're a mighty warrior...
Setsuna: Wha...?! N - No, this is - ! // Mmph!
Chamo: PACTIO!!
[TN: *lets out the squee to end all squees*]

18
Setsuna: M...mmh... / nn...h... // Mhh... // ...mmmm...
Konoka: Mm... // ...mmmmm...
Setsuna: Fuahh! / [aside]It... it hurts, Ojou-sama...
Konoka: Ehe, sorry...
Chamo: [aside]a~~~~nd that's a new record! Wanna go for the full contract while you're at it?[/aside]
Konoka: Well, that settles it! // We're proper partners, Secchan!♡
Setsuna: Y... / Yes...
Konoka: All right! / It's a long road to the title of Magister Magi! Let's go for it~~! // [aside]ye~~~ah!♡[/aside]
Setsuna: Y - Ye~~~ah... / (Maybe she really is innocent... or just incredibly easygoing...?)
Chamo: [aside]ooh, a new card?! Let's see now...[/aside]
[Insert text: With ultimate love and ultimate power, the ultimate duo is finally born!! ...But what does that card actually do~~~~?!!]
