[Text: Old World - Japan - Mahora Academy]
Eva: Aaaaaaghhh... / It's hot... // It's bright... // I'm sleepy... / I'm thirsty... // I can't stand summer... / [aside]and the same goes for midday[/aside]
Chachazero: You sure complain a lot, don't ya, hag. / [aside]just get used to these Japanese summers already.[/aside]
Eva: Why is it, at any rate, that I must be forced to walk out here myself whenever that fool decides we should share a little tea?
Servant: It cannot be helped; Colonel-sama cannot leave his current dwelling.
Eva: I'm quite aware of that...
Eishun: Oh? Evangeline! It has been a while!

2
Eishun: Hahaha... // [aside]dear me, it is rather hot...[/aside]
Eva: Konoe Eishun?! // What on Earth? What are you doing here at Mahora?!
Eishun: Well, I happened to be in Kanto on official business... // ...when who should I receive an invitation from but Alberio Imma!
Eva: Hm? From him? You too? // I suppose that means this is more than just a simple social call... // What is that perverted eggplant-man up to...?
Eishun: Let's buy some snacks to take along, shall we? / [aside]oh, look, there seems to be a seasonal fruit fair...[/aside]
Eva: No, no, don't bother. He's not worth it.
Eishun: White peach tart or white peach shortcake... which would you prefer, Evangeline?
Eva: ............The shortcake.

[Insert text: Why have the big shots of the real world been gathered together......?]
Imma: A pleasure to see you again, Eishun. // And welcome, Evangeline.

4
Eva: So?
Imma: I was thinking... of sharing with both of you the information that I have in my possession.
Eva: ......And what brought this on?
Imma: Oh, well... I just thought... // ...it seems likely that our young friend, too, will be uncovering the secrets of that world around now...
Eva: Hm... // The boy, eh...

Kid: Nagi-sama.

Kid: Governor Kurt Gödel awaits you in the deluxe suite. // You are permitted to bring up to three companions.
Negi: Very well.
Shiori!Asuna: Right! Here goes nothing! // I'm going with you!
Negi: No, you can't, Asuna-san.
Shiori!Asuna: Wha - / Why not?!
Negi: We have to keep you safe.
Asuna: Eh?
Negi: Setsuna-san, I hope I can trust you with Asuna-san's guard.
Setsuna: Of course.
Negi: Why is it that I am restricted to a maximum of three companions?
Kid: It is customary.
Negi: And if I do not comply?
Kid: You will be refused audience.
Negi: ......

7
Negi: In that case... / First of all, Nodoka-san.
Nodoka: Ah?! / Right...!
Negi: Secondly, Asakura-san.
Asakura: Thanks for that, Negi-kun!♪
Negi: And finally, Chisame-san.
Chisame: Wha - ?
Negi: Asakura-san, I would like you to assist me in analysing the information we obtain.
Asakura: Sure thing!♪ I'll record and relay everything, as well. / [aside]assuming that's possible.[/aside]
Negi: Nodoka-san, I'd like you to handle things as we discussed earlier. // I apologise for dragging you into such a dangerous situation.
Nodoka: N - No, that's... I... / Aslonguh - / As long as I can be of help!
Negi: Thank you, Nodoka-san.
Haruna: You can leave things here to us, no need to worry! You just head on in there!♪
Chamo: You heard her, Aniki! / [aside]if worst comes to worst, we can make a quick getaway with Kaede-san's cape![/aside]
Chisame: Whoa, whoa! Hold it already! // I can understand you taking them, but why me?! // I don't want to end up in the centre of all this fantasy stuff! / [aside]surely there are better candidates![/aside]

8
Negi: ? / I just wanted to have you by my side all the time, that's all...
Chisame: ...Don't say stuff like that with a straight face. / You'll get yourself stabbed by a girl one of these days. / [aside]also, I'd like to know why Miyazaki gets an apology, but with me it's just 'yeah, come along, you know the deal'...![/aside]
People: *whistle*~~~! / How passionate!♪ (your bond of trust...) // [aside]Chiu-chan's kind of amazing, huh...[/aside]
Negi: Eh - wha - ?! I just mean - the advice you give is always incredibly useful, and -
Chisame: I swear, you're like a natural freakin' gigolo sometimes!
People: [aside]how nice... // *sigh*...[/aside]
Kid: ...
Negi: Kotarou-kun, Master Ku... when push comes to shove...
Kotarou: Sure.
KuFei: Leave it to us~aru!
Shiori!Asuna: Be careful, okay~~?!
Negi: Well, then... // I'll be right back!

Kid: This is the room.
Nodoka: (On the other side of this door lie the secrets of Negi-sensei's father and mother... // ...and of this whole world...)
Kid: You have some lively companions there.
Negi: Eh...?
Kid: Ah, well... I just thought, considering the tragedy that set you out on your journey... / ...to have made such remarkable friends as those... // I am actually a little envious. // After all, no matter where you go, the world is full of tragedies, even now. // New and Old Worlds alike.

10-11
Gödel: Welcome to my deluxe suite. // Negi Springfield-kun.
Negi: ?!!
Asakura: This is... // ?!
Nodoka: It's Negi-sensei's... // ...home village... six years ago...!!
Chisame: What?! // What's going on here?!
Gödel: Nothing to get worked up about, my dear young ladies. // This is but a projection.
Asakura: So you're the Governor-General. / Quite the hospitality you're giving us here.
Negi: How...? // Where did you find a recording of this?!
Gödel: Well... where do you think?

12
Gödel: I merely thought it may be prudent to make the theme of our discussion quite clear before we began. // You have come here to find the answers you seek. / However... which answers, precisely, do you truly wish to hear?
Chisame: ?!
Gödel: A) "The secrets of the Magic World"? // Or B) "The goals of the evil society"? // Or perhaps... // C) "How your mother lived"? // Or of course... / D) "Your father's whereabouts"?

13
Negi: Tha -
Gödel: No, no, that's not it at all, is it?! // The answer that you truly, truly desire to find is not any of these things!! / The one thing that you simple must know is the identity of your "true enemy"!!
Chisame: (Th... This isn't good! / This guy's in complete control of the situation! // Sensei...!!)
Gödel: Six years ago!! That snowy day!! This day, this moment!!
LittleNegi: *pant* // *pant* // *pant*
Gödel: The event that fundamentally changed your entire existence!! // Who exactly was responsible for the burning of your village?!! / That is the one answer that you truly seek to find!!

14
Gödel: Certainly, your desire to find your father... / ...and your sense of purpose, looking to the future, are genuine. // But you, who have mastered the power of Magia Erebea, must surely be aware of the truth! / Your deepest desire is... that's right... // To find your "true enemy"...
LittleNegi: Nekane-oneecha~n! // Uncl~~~~e!
Gödel: ...and take revenge!!!
Chisame: Don't listen!! He's toying with you!! // Sensei!!
Nodoka: Sensei...! // Chisame-san is absolutely right -
Gödel: As long as this hunger within you goes unfulfilled, you cannot so much as truly enjoy a day of relaxation with your friends...
LittleNegi: Un... / ...cle...
Gödel: You are a hollow soul!
Negi: ...

15
Negi: You... know, don't you?
Gödel: Who do you think the culprit might be? // You are an intelligent boy. You must have thought through the possibilities.
LittleNegi: [aside]uunhhh... / I... // I should never have thought a thing like that...[/aside]
Gödel: You must have spent every day since that night... / ...silently honing your solitary blade of vengeance...
Nodoka: No...! // Negi-sensei wouldn't - // !!
Flashback!Hermann: ...You learned that spell with naught but bloody revenge in mind.
Gödel: A) "Fate Averruncus". // B) "The Demons". C) "The Mage of the Beginning". // Indeed, indeed... any one of them would make a very appropriate "true enemy". / With one of them as the object of your revenge, your tale may yet have been a very simple one. // However... // Reality has the nasty tendency to be far more complicated... far less pleasant than we might like to imagine. // Allow me to tell you the truth. / The responsibility for what happened to you back then lies with... // The true culprit is...

16-17
Gödel: ...Us. // That is to say... / The Senate of Megalomesembria.
Chisame/Asakura: ?!!
Nodoka: What...?! // But... Megalomesembria is...
Gödel: We... / ...are the ones behind it all. // Now, as I say... you are a very intelligent boy. // You must naturally have taken this possibility into -
