Flashback!Shiori: Hello there... // ...Princess!♡
Flashback!Asuna: Are - // Are you another one of their - // Mmph?!

Shiori: Whew...

Homura: Good work, Shiori.
Shiori: But of course! / It took Fate-sama ten years to bring this technique to perfection! // Now hurry along, Homura. I'm going to make the switch.
Homura: Understood. I'll leave the rest to you.
Shiori!Asuna: ...Huh? // Wha... I...? // Huh?! Where did that flame-wielding girl go? // She's gone... did she run away?! / Don't tell me I actually scared her away...?! / I... I guess I'm just awesome, huh...!
Homura: So you see... / Shiori's Artifact, Signum Bioregens...
[TN: The kanji given are "Life-Stealing Seal". As for the Latin, "Signum" means "seal", and "Regens" means "to rule". "Bio", of course, as in "biology", could come from the Greek for "life"... though mixing Greek and Latin is rude ~_~ (The text is pretty damn small, and I'm not 100% it says "bio"... could be "pio"... or even "hio"... but I don't see how either of those would make sense, so...)]
Homura: ...does not merely reproduce the target's outer appearance; through a form of autosuggestion, it even faithfully reproduces the target's own personality - a perfect transformation. / I doubt any of your friends will realise that you have been abducted.

4
Homura: Now please, cast aside any futile hopes of escape. // Fear not, Princess... we have no intentions of causing you any injury.
Asuna: ...! Who exactly are you people, anyway?! // And what's with the "Princess" thing? It's creeping me out!
Homura: Dear me... you honestly do know nothing of it, don't you? / And to think, there is not a single individual more important than you in this entire Magical World...
Asuna: ? // Whaaa?
Anya: Hey~~~! You! Nasty-eyes! Slanty-eyes! What are you trying to do to Asuna?!! // If you lay a finger on Asuna or any of my other friends... // ...I won't let you get away with it, you little runt!!
Homura: ...That little girl again...
Anya: If you even THINK about doing anything to her, I'll smash your face in so hard...

5
Anya: ?!
Homura: I have no orders to refrain from harming you... / Little girl.
Anya: H - Hah! / Y - You can't exactly... // ...be much older than me yourself...!
Fate: That's enough, Homura. // That girl is a "human". / Let us refrain from taking life unnecessarily. // We should restrict ourselves to the minimum necessary level of casualties to achieve our goal, lest we lose sight of justice.

6
Homura: M - My deepest apologies, Fate-sama!
Fate: No, no... what matters is that you and Shiori performed splendidly in accomplishing your mission. // Good work; you have done well.
Homura: ...! // Th - Th - Thank you very much!! // ...And what of the others?
Fate: Yes, quite... // Perhaps I should ask for a report from each of you.
Others: Ahh! // Whaa?! // Ahh...
Brigitte: I - I offer my humblest apologies. / I, Shirabe, underestimated the abilities of Inugami Kotarou and the mind-reader, and allowed them to escape...
Koyomi: We, Koyomi and Tamaki, too confronted our target, J Rakan of Ala Rubra, with extensive preparations to hold him up... / ...but we were powerless before his unexpected levels of pervers - I mean, power - and were forced to flee ourselves in shame.
[TN: What's that? "Kotomi"? Don't be silly. I never misspelled Koyomi's name as "Kotomi". I DENY EVERYTHING >_<]
Tamaki: Apologies...
Tsukuyomi: [aside]eheheh...[/aside] // As for me, I help up my target perfectly as planned~~!

7
Fate: As expected of Tsukuyomi-san...
Tsukuyomi: Though I think not causing excessive casualties is a little boring~~!
Fate: I see... // No... / All of you have done fine work, and our objective is accomplished. // Misjudging the growth of Inugami Kotarou was my own error. // And as for Rakan... he is something like a bug. Trying to fight him seriously is a futile endeavour in the best of cases. / [aside]you held up well, considering.[/aside] / Good work, everyone. You may rest for the remainder of the day.
Koyomi: ...Th...
Everyone: Thank you so much, Fate-sama!
Asuna: ...... // ...Seriously, just what is with you people?! // I mean, those are just ordinary girls, aren't they?! // Using them to conquer the world or destroy it or whatever... there's something wrong with you! / Well, not that that much wasn't obvious to begin with... / [aside]although that swordswoman with the glasses is even worse...[/aside]

8
Koyomi: What was that?! We will not permit you to mock Fate-sama!! At any rate, you -
Homura: Enough, Koyomi. // There is no point. / This girl could never hope to understand our noble goals.
Asuna: Mnhh...! // What's with you, acting all self-important like that?!! / [aside]I just don't get you![/aside] / And you, Fate - you too! Going on at Negi like that the whole time back in the cafe...! // Insinuating things about others all the time but never explaining yourselves in the slightest... / Looking down on everyone all the time...! // If you've got a problem with us, then come right out and say it! // How are we supposed to understand if you don't?! There are plenty of things that can be solved if you just talk about them properly, you know! / So out with it already! I'm not an idiot, you know...!
Koyomi: H - How dare you...!
Homura: Koyomi.
Fate: Fine, then... Kagurazaka Asuna.
Asuna: Wha...? // [aside]is he serious...?[/aside]

9
Fate: It seems that you are entirely unaware of your own crucial role in this whole affair. // In which case the quickest solution is simply to have you remember.
Asuna: ?! // Wha... // What is this?!
Fate: A cancellation spell.
Anya: Hey...! // Asuna, are you okay?! What's wrong - ?! // What are you people trying to do to Asuna?! If you try anything funny, I - // Mnnngh!

10
Asuna: Ahh... / Aaahhhh...!
Fate: It would appear that you fancy yourself Negi Springfield's personal knight or something of that nature... // ...but will you be able to stand up to the weight of your own sins?
Anya: Mnnnhhhh! / Mnnnghhhh!
Fate: Hmm... he seems to have used some kind of drug... But no matter. / You will remember soon enough.

11
Kagurazaka!Asuna: Huh...?
Princess!Asuna: Who... are you?
Chamo: All right~! // Are both of you ready?

12
Kaede: Hm. // With all this ceremony, it certainly makes a girl nervous~de gozaru.
Negi: You don't exactly look very nervous to me...
Chamo: [aside]why are they sitting in seiza...?[/aside]
Kaeda: Is that right?
Negi: Ahhh... So... uh...

13
Negi: Mmnh...
Chamo: Pac... // ...tio!!!
Kaede: Mnn... // ...nnhhh...
Chamo: Okay, all done!
Negi: Mmphh!
Kaede: Ohh... // Is that so.

14
Kaede: I suppose this makes me your retainer of sorts, "provisional" though it may be. // I look forward to working with you, Master.
Negi: Y - Y - Yes, of course! // I - I will do my best...
Kaede: Oh, my.
Asakura: H - Hey, Kaede! You were quick.
Haruna: So?! How did it - ah, I mean, how do you feel?
Kaede: Mizu-yokan... is what the texture reminded me of.
Others: Mizu-yokan?!

15
Chachamaru: Wh - What do you think?
Haruna: I'm not sure that I'd agree with that...
Nodoka: Ah - but if you were to heat the yokan up...
[Label: -serious debate-]
Asakura: Well... it did have that "springy~♪" sort of feeling...
Konoka: "Springy~♪", is it...? // [aside]I don't really remember since it was all so serious at the time...[/aside]
Chisame: Hey, what are you all discussing so seriously?!
Setsuna: Eheh... it is a little shocking to think that all of them have...
Kaede: So... I just do this, do I? // Adeat.
Konoka/Sayo: Aaahhh~~~~~~~?
Chamo: [aside]So this is Kaede-neesan's Artifact...![/aside]
Haruna: [aside]it just looks like a worn-out piece of cloth...[/aside]
Kaede: Ahh...

16
Everyone: Oohhh! // She's vanished! // Oohhh?! And look... / The cloak is vanishing into the ground...!
Asakura: I see! So it's a super-stealthy camouflage item!
Konoka: So basically, it's like a ninja invisibility technique!
Haruna: But wait... Kaede's a master ninja already; shouldn't she kind of be able to do that?
Chamo: Yeah, you'd think so... Maybe she's got herself a dud...
Kaede: Well, that was a surprise! There's a house inside, with kitchen and everything!
Everyone: A HOUSE~~~~~~~~~~?!
People: So - uh - how exactly does that work...? I don't get it... // Would everybody like to take a look inside...?
Chisame: I see... If you make proper use of it...
Kotarou: This could be one damn useful little item.
Haruna: All right!! Now that Kaede-chin's all done... // Who else here doesn't have a contract?!!

17
Haruna: You~~~!! Ku Fei!!!
KuFei: Aaahh?! // Ah - well - erm - // I - I - I think I'll pass on this actually~aru~~~!
Haruna: Oh, don't be so silly! It's just one little kiss in exchange for an awesome power-up!! / [aside]how could you not go for it?![/aside]
KuFei: Ah - but - you see - as a martial artist I, er, prefer to fight with my own body alone - so - aru - // Ehh?!
Haruna: What are you stalling like that for?! / Didn't you see Rakan-san's movie?! // We're talking about a cold-blooded, heartless criminal group who once schemed against the two greatest nations in this whole magical world, beating down their people with war and terror!! / Honest-to-God SUPERVILLAINS!!

18
Haruna: And we're fighting what's left of them! We can't let up one jot!! // And if we're going to do this right, we absolutely need every single member of our team... / ...to have that incredibly useful tool that automatically allows instant communication, summoning and magical enhancement just by owning it... a Pactio Card!!!
KuFei: O - Okay, I - I'll do it... / I'll do it~aru, okay? // I just need a little time to, you know, think about it and...
Asakura: Aw, come on... are you really that against taking power from a little card? / [aside]I mean, I know you have your own values, but...[/aside] // It's just one tiny little kiss with Negi-kun, that's all~! / [aside]heck, you don't have to use the thing if you don't want to![/aside]
Haruna: Ah - don't tell me...!
[Label: Love Detection Radar]
Haruna: Whaaaaa?!! It's not... THAT~~?! Is it THAT, Ku Fei~~~?! / Has the great Paru-sama actually managed to overlook a thing like THIS~?!
People: Hmmm? Wh - What's this about now...? // Hm? What is it~?
KuFei: N - No, Paru, it's - it's not~aru - it's not - / It's not what you think~~~!
People: Ah - she ran away! After her!! / What exactly is this about~~?! // Dammit, stop scampering about like that on board the ship, all of you~!
[TN: With a serious conflict ahead of them... more power means more kisses!♡]
