Guidelines For Using My Translations

Eva: ...No matter. Take care of the boy for me. / There's nothing I can do about it if he dies, but things would certainly be more boring without him. // ...No, I'm not going to make that an order. / I daresay in your current state, you'd protect him without my needing to ask.
Chachamaru: Mas...
Eva: Hahah... Oh, you're an intriguing one. Perhaps it's due to your being a product of magic and technology combined. / There's something a little different about you from your elder sisters. // I suggest... you try to be true to your own feelings on this journey. / [aside]hahahahahah[/aside]
Chachamaru: Master... // ...... // ...Master... may I ask one question? // Do I... Karakuri Chachamaru... have a 'soul'...?

2
Eva: A soul? / Why would you be so interested in a thing like that all of a sudden? / [aside]you're only two years old...[/aside] // Hmm...? Oh, I see... / You're thinking about Pactios... / [aside]ahahahah... // you and I simply hold a Doll Contract, after all...[/aside]
Chachamaru: N - No, I...
Eva: Hahah... a soul is the kind of thing... that depends entirely on whether you think you have it. / ...I would put it as... / "Where there is a will, therein lies a soul". // It's just a matter of whether or not... you can believe that.
Chachamaru: ...... // Master...

Natsumi: *sigh*~~~~~~~~~ // That Sakura-san sure is cute, huh... So bright and friendly and straightforward... I can't find a single fault with her... // I'm sure any guy would prefer a girl like that... // (...Or what about Kaede-san...? // They may be master and student or whatever, but the two of them certainly seem to have a real connection, like parent and child... // Or what about...) // Hahah... Now that, I'm really no match for...
Chachamaru: Excuse me... Natsumi-san?
Natsumi: Wh - Whaat?! // Ahh... Chachamaru-san?

4
Chachamaru: Were you worrying about your Pactio with Kotarou-san? / Do you like him? // Don't worry... I'm sure you'll be fine. / [aside]you are beautifully made-up tonight, and your dress suits you perfectly.[/aside]
Natsumi: Ch... Chachamaru-san! // What about you? I bet you've been worrying about your Pactio with Negi, right~~?
Chachamaru: Ehh...? // I - I - I have no idea what you're talking about...
Natsumi: Not too hot when you're put on the spot, huh? // [aside]you're way too obvious...[/aside] // ...*sigh*~~~ It's no good... I just don't have the confidence for this. / I've had this issue all along... surrounded by all these incredible people...
Chachamaru: ...I feel the same way. I am lacking in confidence.
Natsumi: Hmmm~? Surely you should be right in there! I mean, you're cute, you're attractive... // Even if you are dealing with such incredible people...
Chachamaru: I am but two years old, and a robot... it is hopeless.
Natsumi: Oh... now you mention it, that's true, huh... / [aside]I forget... // you're only two years old?[/aside]

5
Chachamaru: I am an automaton, powered by magic. / I cannot say with confidence... that the feelings I experience are genuine. // I am unable to believe in myself.
Natsumi: ... // Oh, well... if that's what you're worried about, I really don't think it's gonna be a problem. / I mean, I don't really know about robots and magic and all that stuff... // But you know... // I really don't think Negi-kun's the kind of kid who'd be bothered by that kind of thing. In fact, if you're really worried about it... // Surely that's the perfect excuse to have a proper consultation with your class tutor, Negi-sensei! // Could be your big chance!♪
Chachamaru: ...
Natsumi: Ahahahahah! You know, I'm actually kind of relieved... It's nice to know that even you have confidence issues sometimes, huh, Chachamaru-san... // I mean, you're always so cool and composed... so pretty... and you're a robot, too... I kind of thought you never had that kind of trouble! / [aside]even if it's not really the kind of trouble I can identify with too much... eheheh...[/aside]
Chachamaru: Natsumi-san...
Kotarou: Ahh... there you are. // I've been lookin' everywhere for you!

6
Kotarou: Th - Thing is, y'see... Paru-neesan kind of said I should, uh... / ...form a... a Pactio with you... // I - I mean, I'm sure it's a pain for you, an' all... / D - Don't get me wrong or anything, I'm just doing this for practical reasons, it's not like I want to do this or anything, so... uh... / [aside]to k... kiss you, I mean...[/aside] // Wait, wha - ?! // What're you running for?! // Gah! You idiot! // Ahh...! // Sh... She's surprisingly quick... // I guess even Nee-chan's come a long way since arriving in this world... // [aside]...but forget that...[/aside] / Wait up, Natsumi-neecha~~~n!
Chachamaru: Natsumi-san...
Negi: Chachamaru-san! // Ah, good. Asakura-san said you were through here.
Chachamaru: N - Negi-sensei... What might you want...?

7
Negi: It's about a Pac - // Well, actually, first things first... Asakura-san told me you haven't been charged yet today, so she asked me to take care of that.
Chachamaru: Eh - ?!
Kotarou: Hey - hold it, Natsumi-neechan! / Why're you running away?! I don't get it!
Natsumi: Does it really matter?! // Just leave me alone!
Kotarou: I mean, I get it if you don't want to do that with me, but you don't have to run -
Natsumi: Shut up... shut up! I... I... // I hate you!!
Kotarou: [aside]wha - [/aside]

8
Kotarou: What the heck did I do to deserve that out of nowhere?!
Natsumi: Shut up~~~! You hate me too, don't you?!
Kotarou: Whaaa?! / Sorry! // Wha - ? Gah! Sorry!
Natsumi: Aahhh... / M... My dress... // Aahh!
Kotarou: Nee-chan! // [aside]I had no idea she could even pull this kinda stunt...[/aside]
Natsumi: [aside]ahh...![/aside] // Unhh... // Wh... Whatever... I don't care about the stupid dress... / It's not like it was ever going to suit me anyway...

9
Natsumi: Balls in palaces above the clouds... // Magic... dragons... secrets of the world... / Celebrities... you, Kota-kun... none of it's right for me anyway! // I don't care... I'm just some ordinary middle-schooler... // Just a normal... Theatre Club girl... who can't even use magic...
Kotarou: Hold it, Natsumi-neechan.

10
Natsumi: Ahh...
Kotarou: H... hey, c'mon... Wh - Why're you crying now...? / You're totally making me look like the bad guy here!
Natsumi: Aahh... // Forget it... forget it! Just leave me alone!
Kotarou: Oh, come off it, there's no need for that! / What's the problem? Did I do something wrong?!
Natsumi: Well, you're just creeped out by the idea of having to kiss me, right?! / You're only doing this reluctantly because Paru told you to, right?! Well, I don't want that either!!
Kotarou: Huh...? // O... // Ohhhh... // W... Well, you know how it is... // A guy having to kiss a girl... that stuff's just n - not cool, y'know? I dunno how Negi does it all the time...
Natsumi: Eh...? // (O... Of course...)

11
Natsumi: (Kota-kun's still only ten years old...)
Kotarou: [aside]I guess you heard that stuff back there, huh...? // s... sorry 'bout that...[/aside]
Natsumi: (I'd almost forgotten...) // Gahhhhh~~!
Kotarou: Whaaaaaaa~?!
Natsumi: It's all your fault for looking like that! Here, eat this~~~!
Kotarou: Wh - What're you - Mmffhh?! // Jeez... // What was that for...? / [aside]now my clothes are all baggy...[/aside]
Natsumi: A... At any rate, you want to form a Pactio with me, right?! // B... Because Paru told you to, not because you want to or anything...
Kotarou: N - No, I...
Natsumi: Just sit down there, would you? // I have something to talk to you about.
Kotarou: *sigh*~~~ // (The heck is all this...? I don't get girls at all...)

12
Natsumi: Ahem. // Wh... What exactly do you think of Sakura Mei-san?
Kotarou: Huhhhh~? What's that got to do with anything?!
Natsumi: Just tell me! This is important for the Pactio!
Kotarou: [aside]it's all very well asking me that...[/aside] // Hmmmmmm... / I'd give her 55 points.
Natsumi: 55 points?! // [aside]th - that's some strict grading...[/aside]
Kotarou: Yeah. She's got ambition, and a good attitude, // but she takes stuff too seriously, and she's not got nearly enough battle experience for a guy to trust his back to her.
Natsumi: ..................... / [aside]that's not really what I meant...[/aside] // ...What about Yue-chan, then?
Kotarou: Hm? What's the forehead-midget got to do with anything?
Natsumi: Just answer!
Kotarou: Heh... I'd always thought I oughtta settle things with her one day... // But I never dreamed she'd end up as an apprentice in the Ariadne Knights! That girl really is somethin'! // She might make a serious sparring partner some day. / 60 points. / [aside]accounting for future potential.[/aside]
Natsumi: (...He's such a battle-mad boy...) // [aside]*sigh*~~~[/aside] // And Kugi-mii?

13
Kotarou: Kugi...? Ohh! // Nasty slap she's got, that's for sure. Decent personality, and seems like the type who'd be reliable in a crisis. / 18 points.
Natsumi: The class rep?
Kotarou: Seriously impressive for an ordinary human. I'd vouch for her any day. / 40 points.
Natsumi: Nagase-san?
Kotarou: I really look up to her. She's a target I mean to catch up with some day. / 120 points.
Natsumi: And Chizu-nee...?
[Text:]
Naba Chizuru Artifact:
DUAL NEGI
Powers:
BUTT-PIERCING
Benefits:
May cure colds, may not
[/Text]
Kotarou: F... FOUR HUNDRED points. // D... Do... / Do we really need to talk about Chizu-nee...?
Natsumi: (Hm...? // His reaction's different for her... does he really...?) // W... Well, then... // ...What about me?
Kotarou: (Hmm? What's with that face? // Kinda looks like she's expecting something from me here... // I was about to say five points, but I get the feeling she'd get really mad if I said that... I - I don't think that's really what she's gettin' at anyway... / What's with all this, anyway?! Ugh... I don't get girls at all... / Haruna-neechan... how am I supposed to deal with this? This Pactio stuff is way too complicated... That's right... I've gotta think like Haruna-neechan and analyse the situation properly! Ummm... Ummm... she's all hesitant over the Pactio thing, but seems kinda expectant too... hmmm... wait, huh? ...Could this be......?)

14
Kotarou: Natsumi-neechan, you don't like me, do you?
Natsumi: Wh - Wh - Wh - What are you talking about?! Don't be ridiculous, idiot!
Kotarou: Ahahahah! Yeah, I guess not. That's just crazy talk, huh? / Still... // I sure do like you. ...Heck, I love ya. // To be honest... I think you might be the most important person in the world to me right now.
Natsumi: Huh? // Wh - Wh - Wh - What do you mean by -
Kotarou: Uh, exactly what I just said? / [aside]lessee now...[/aside] // I know I haven't been staying with you guys for all that long yet, really... // But I've kind of started to think of you like a real - a real family... / ...Probably a stupid thing to say, but...
Natsumi: Eh...? // N - No, Kota-kun - I don't think that's a bad thing at all, I...!
Kotarou: I mean... I don't have any parents, or family, so... / I'm just an idiot who got by doing the kind of work I couldn't even tell you or Negi about, so when you took me in... it made me real happy.

15
Kotarou: Yeah... that's right. / You might be the only family I have here in this world...
Natsumi: K... / Kota-kun...
Kotarou: Protecting women an' saving the world... // Yeah... I think the one thing I gotta protect even if I die in the attempt is you, Natsumi-neechan. / I'm not doin' this just because Haruna-neechan told me to. // I want to do this, Natsumi-neechan. / So I can protect you! // So I'm sorry, but... could we do this Pactio thing?!
Natsumi: Ko... // Aahh... // F... Fine then... I... I guess I have to...

16
Kotarou: All right! Bring it! I'm ready when you are!
Natsumi: D - Don't stare at me like that... Close your eyes! / [aside]this isn't a contest![/aside]
Kotarou: Like this? // D... Do it quick, then...
Natsumi: I... // I know...! // W... Well then, Chamo-kun... Are you ready?
Chamo: Sure thing! / [aside]eheheheheh!♡[/aside]
Kotarou: Mm...
Chamo: Pac // tio!!!

17
Natsumi: Mnhh...
Kotarou: Mmhh...? // Whew...
Chamo: Eheheh... How was it, then?! Your first Pactio!
Kotarou: Felt kinda... weird.
Natsumi: ......
Kotarou: Here ya go, Natsumi-neechan... your Pactio card! // Hahahaha... I guess this whole Pactio thing isn't such a big deal in the end, huh?
Natsumi: ...I was lying.
Kotarou: Huh...?

18
Natsumi: ...I like you too. // Kotarou-kun.
Kotarou: Huh...?
Natsumi: Ahh...
Kotarou: ?
Natsumi: F - F - F - F - F - F - F - // Forget I said anything~~~!!
Kotarou: ? // ? // What... the heck was that?
Chamo: E~~heheheheheheheh~♡ Want me to tell ya?
Natsumi: I - I - I - It just came out~~~?! What am I saying all of a sudden~~~~~~~?!! // He's only ten years old~! Wh - Wh - Who do I think I am, the Class Rep~~~~~?! / [aside]and in front of Chamo-kun, too...![/aside] / I - I - I - It's not like I meant it! The whole thing just made my head go funny, and...! / [aside]I - It's just not true~~~~~![/aside]
