Mahou Sensei Negima!
Period 266: Facing the Truth!
[Insert text: All of the mysteries are about to be unveiled...]
Asakura: How about... / ...you tell us what it is you're after.
Gödel: Hahah... // What I'm after...? / Well, naturally... // ...that would be to have Negi-kun join our ranks. // Now, then...

2
Asakura: ?!
Gödel: Allow me to make this simple enough that even the young ladies from the old world are able to understand. // Observe: This is Mundus Magicus. / The planet that was to become a paradise for those driven from the Earth... or so they thought.
Chisame: What...?
Nodoka: What is this...?
Kid: A projection apparatus, making use of an illusionary space. // It is an extremely expensive piece of magical equipment.

3
Gödel: Hahah... I was hoping to stimulate Negi-kun, destabilised by the effects of Magia Erebea, into taking his first step into our side. // After that, it would doubtless have been simple to win him over. / A clever little scheme, if I say so myself... but it seems I will have to resort to more conventional means.
Asakura: You staged this whole farce just for that...?
Gödel: I do whatever I feel necessary to achieve my goals.
Chisame: ... / Quit it already, you stupid Governor! You still haven't told us what those "goals" are! / What do you need Sensei on your side for?!
Gödel: Hahah... I see the girl Mr. Rakan has taken a liking to is rather short-tempered. / That is exactly what I am about to explain. // Now then, I will be as frank as possible with you and try to make this brief.

4
Gödel: A population of fifty million pure-blooded mages. / A massive magical city-state boasting the greatest military capacity in the entire magical world. // And the organisation in charge of it all: the Megalomesembria Senate. // These are our enemies. // The Mage of the Beginning, said to have been destroyed. // He, too, is the enemy of we humans.

5
Gödel: Megalomesembria... // The successors to its will, namely Fate Averruncus and his allies... // ...are, right now, perhaps our greatest enemies. // The Empire of Demihumans, Hellas. / I am sorry to say that they, too, are but another obstacle standing in our way. // Do you see? Let me put this very simply.

6
Gödel: We mean to defeat... / ...every one of these mighty powers!! // Negi-kun, it is for this reason that we need your help.
Everyone: Whaaa?!!
Gödel: Furthermore... / ...we mean to save all sixty-seven million of our fellow humans... // ...from the destruction of this dying world. / That is our objective.

7
Negi: (...! // I knew it...!)
Chisame: H - Hold it! How the hell many "enemies" do you have?! // The whole damn world is your enemy?! Are you insane?! // Talk about your grand delusions! / Where the hell are you getting this crap from, four-eyes?!
Nodoka: A - And did you just say the Megalomesembria Senate was your enemy? ...I thought you just told us you were part of them...?
Asakura: ... // You... // ...weren't involved in it, right? Negi-kun's "incident".
Gödel: Well... // I have no intention of running from my own sins. // And I'm sure Negi-kun would not like to lose sight of a target for his rage. // Once everything is over, I promise, you may beat me to death if that is what it takes to satisfy you.
Negi: ...!
Chisame: Why, you...!
Nodoka: Chisame-san. // Governor-General Kurt Gödel. // I trust there are no lies or deception in the things you have just told us?

8
Gödel: Ah... // (So that is the Diarium Ejus...)
Negi: Nodoka-san...
Nodoka: He's telling the truth. // And this man was not involved in what happened to your village.
Gödel: *sigh*
Negi: ...... // Kurt...san.
Chisame: Then... // This is all for real...? // Well, even so...! // ?! // What the - ?!

9
Negi: Father?! / This is...!
Gödel: Well, I supposed that no matter how much I explained myself, it would be difficult for you to take in. // As such... I prepared this for you instead. A tale of two people I know very well... / Your father and mother.
Negi: ...

10-11
Flashback!MageOfTheBeginning: ...Eheheh... // Ahah... Ahahahah... // Hahahahahahahah! / So you defeat me, human?! Very well! // Defeat me, and become a hero! / Perhaps it will offer the sheep some comfort!
Flashback!Nagi: You're one stubborn bastard!
Flashback!MageOfTheBeginning: But you must never forget this! // There is no solution that can fulfil all! / The curtain of despair will one day fall upon them also! // You too... / ...are no exception!
Flashback!Nagi: Ngh...!

12
Flashback!Nagi: Shut... // ...the... // ...HELL... / UUUUUUUP!!
Flashback!MageOfTheBeginning: [aside]guaaahhh?![/aside]
People: Aaaaghh! // What the - ?! // Unidentified powerful magical source detected within the palace...

13
Flashback!Nagi: I don't care... // ...if you tell me the whole damn world... / ...will be destroyed tomorrow!! // I'll never give up... // That's what it means to be human!!
Flashback!MageOfTheBeginning: Ahahah... One day, you will come to realise that the "eternity" of which I speak... // ...is the only compromise capable of saving all souls.
Flashback!Nagi: Don't... // ...you... / ...dare...

14-15
Flashback!Nagi: ...UNDERESTIMATE... // ...HUMANITY~~~~~~~!!!

16
Flashback!Nagi: ...Master...
Flashback!Arika: So this is where you were.
Flashback!Nagi: Hey there, Princess. // Looks like it's all... over.

17
Flashback!Nagi: What's up? // We've restored peace to the world and something's still the matter? / That sour face of yours is looking even sourer than usual, Princess Noh-Mask.
Flashback!Arika: No...
Flashback!Nagi: ...What? // Seriously, you're throwing me off... // Well... anyway. I guess this is the end of my role as your knight. // How about you give me back my staff and wings that I left with you now? I can't stand all that ceremonial stuff...
Flashback!Arika: Nagi.
Flashback!Nagi: Hm?

18
Flashback!Nagi: Ungh?! // O - Oi, Princess - // What is it now? // Hm?
Flashback!Arika: Might I ask you... / ...just for a little longer... // ...to stay by my side...?
Nagi: Eh - ?
