Period 286: Magia Erebea vs. Negi's Party
[Insert text: With her memories restored, Yue is reunited with Nodoka for the "first time"!!]
Yue: ...I'm not physically hurt at all.
Nodoka: I see... That's great to hear...! // Eheheh... We're both in a real state, huh?
Yue: Hm...? // Y... Yes, I suppose so... // [aside]haha...[/aside]
Nodoka: Y - Yue... Have your... your memories... come back now?
Yue: Y... Yes, they have.

2
Yue: I've remembered all kinds of things. About Mahora Academy, about Haruna, Konoka and the others, about Japan... // You and I were members of the Library Exploration Club, and... / ...well... the best of friends.
Nodoka: (Ahh...) // That's right... That's right, Yue! We're best friends!
Yue: But... that's as far as it goes.
Nodoka: Eh?
Yue: I can only remember up to around the winter of our second year of middle school... After that, there's nothing but indistinct fragments... // I can't remember anything about Negi...san... or about how you and I came to be here in the Magical World... / I can't grasp the connection between this world and our old world... it's as though I'm remembering two completely separate lives...
Nodoka: (Yue... So you're still just missing the memories of everything that happened... // ...after Negi-sensei arrived at the school...?) // But it was a magical discharge accident, right? I'm sure you'll remember the rest soon!
Yue: I'd like to hope so...
Nodoka: And Yue... It's not "Negi-san", it's "Negi-sensei". // Negi-sensei became our class teacher in our third year!
Yue: Our class... teacher?! A child of his age?
Nodoka: Uh-huh... Negi-sensei is really smart!

3
Nodoka: And then both of us fell head-over-heels for him... really looked up to him...
Yue: ?!
Nodoka: ...and we decided to both become great mages one day, just like Negi-sensei!
Yue: (Wha...? Wh - What exactly does she mean by that...? We both fell "head-over-heels"... what kind of situation is that...? I - Is that kind of thing considered acceptable in Japan? // N - No... no, that can't be right! She must simply be referring to powerful feelings of admiration! / These restless emotions that have been troubling me recently are obviously some kind of side-effect of the memory loss, and allowing them to go unchecked would be a form of betrayal toward my best friend Nodoka...)
Nodoka: ? // Yue... // (Still, it's so great... // ...just to be able to talk like this again...) // Oh... I - I know! Show me that Ariadne armour of yours, Yue! / After all, you've not just become a proper mage... you're a prospective member of the Magical Knights! You're incredible!
Yue: Eh...? // Well, I suppose I can... // Blade! // Equip!! Ariadne Battle Maiden Knight Armour!

4
Nodoka: That's amazing~! You look so cool, Yue~!
Yue: I - It's really nothing... / What have you been doing all this time?
Nodoka: I'm afraid it looks like I don't have much talent for magic... / Oh, but look at this! // Adeat! // Ta-da~~!♪
Yue: Ah! A Treasure Hunter... You really look the part! / There was a Guild of Treasure Hunters in Ariadne as well... // [aside]ah... come to think of it, I have some spare things stored in my Card as well...[/aside]
Nodoka: Eheheh... I'm still not too great, though... I need all the help I can get from the others... / But my experience from the Library Exploration Club has really come in useful! // Here, look... / This is the Comptina Daemonia...
Yue: Ahh... So this is it... // Still, Nodoka, conquering the treacherous dungeons of Noctis Labyrinthus... you really are something!
Nodoka: Well, I can hardly believe you managed to defeat a Griffin Dragon! I'd have turned and run for it if I met one of those in a dungeon!
Yue: Oh, no... It was only thanks to Emily's support that I was able to... // ............ / But of course... Emily was...
Nodoka: Ahh...

5
Yue: And come to think of it, your companions, too...
Nodoka: ......... // Yue... It's going to be dangerous, but let's do everything we can! For the sake of bringing them all back... // ...all the precious friends we made in this world!
Yue: Yes... of course!
Nodoka: Right...!
Haruna: What's this now~? The polygamous duo are back in action? Good to see it~!
Konoka: Ahh... that's great... Yue...
Collet: Y... Yue... Just because your memories are back... // ...you're abandoning us already for your old friends...? // You're terrible~~~~~!
Yue: Collet! No - I didn't - I wasn't trying to leave you out, I was just, ah -
Haruna: She's got spirit, that one!
Beatrix: ...
Nodoka: ... // We can bring them back... I know it.
Beatrix: ... // Yes...
Haruna: I don't know how she does it... Even though she's a midget with a giant forehead, she seems to attract girls left and right and drive them all to tears... / And to top it off, the guy she's really got her eye on is the son of this world's hero... This calls for some extra-special punishment~!
Collet: Eh...? Is that true, Yue?
Yue: Gaaaaahhhh?! / [aside]Haruna, stop making all those unnecessary implications![/aside]

Girls: Hellooo~~? Negi-ku~~~n! // Negi-ku~~~n!
Yuuna: Hmmmm... We're hearing these noises, but there's nobody to be seen...
Makie: Negi-ku~~n!
Ako: Hey, don't you think it's a bit dangerous for us to just go wandering about like this...? / [aside]we might get in their way, too...[/aside]
Yuuna: Ah, it'll be fine! // There's Negi-kun, Setsuna-san and Kaede-san in here! There's nothing to worry about! // [aside]guaaaahh~?![/aside]
Makie: [aside]aaaghhh?![/aside]

Ako: Is that you... Negi-kun...? // ?!
Negi: Ngghh?!
Eva: Hmph... Stand back, Izumi Ako.
Ako: Eh...?

12
Eva: Frozen Coffin of Ice!!
Makie: Wha...
Yuuna: Eva-chan?!
Eva: That will do for today. / Heheh... If you don't find the answer soon... // ...there will be no return for you, boy...
Setsuna: Izumi-san?!
Chisame: Are you all right?! // ...Wait, he's not dead in there, right?! / He's frozen solid!
Eva: This will not be enough to kill him.
Chamo: Aniki~! / [aside]she's merciless...[/aside]

13
Yuuna: D... Dark magic...
Akira: That's what made Negi-kun end up like this...?
Eva: Indeed. // But it is also the fount of his power. / ...Does it frighten you? // This form he has taken...
Ako: ......
Yuuna: Even so, there was no need to freeze him in a block of ice!!
Eva: If I had not done so, then you would all have been killed.
Yuuna: M... Maybe so, but still...
Makie: No, we wouldn't... Negi-kun... // Negi-kun stopped back there, all by himself...

14
Makie: He's all right... Negi-kun's... / ...going to be all right...
Akira: Makie...
Makie: Eh...? // Huh? // He's back to normal...?
Eva: ...Hah. // Very well. You girls can watch over him. / But at four o'clock tomorrow morning, we're starting this again.
Ako: ...... // Makie's... pretty strong, huh...
Akira: Ako...

15
[BubbleSFX: squeeze...]
Makie: Ako...
Negi: *pant*... // *pant*... // *pant*...
Makie: Oh... look! It looks like he's calmed down!
Ako: Yeah...
Akira: All we're doing is holding his hands...
Yuuna: What's this, then? Some kind of magic? Hand Power~?
Ako: ......... // (Negi-kun...)

16
Chisame: Heh...
Chamo: A~~~~ll right now~~~!! For some reason it looks like things are getting nice and cosy in here... // And we know what that means! It's PACTIO TIME~~~!!
Girls: Eh?
Chamo: So what'll it be? You all gonna jump him at once?
Makie: Eeeehhhh?!
Ako: That's not... really... // [aside]aahh...[/aside]
Chamo: Hmmmmm~~?! // What's this now, my dear? You want to have a quiet moment, just the two of you? Right then, right then! I'm hearing ya! Gueheheheh!
Ako: Eh...?!
Chamo: No, no! Say no more! Just leave it a~~ll to me, and you'll have a romantic memory to treasure forever! // [aside]eheheheheh![/aside]
Ako: I - I don't -
Chamo: Ohhhh yes you do! C'mon now... if you give him this pill, he'll be all nice and aged-up...
Ako: Th - That's not - !
Chisame: ENOUGH!
[Label: the pill]
Chamo: Piyowww!
[TN: okay-so-maybe-he-actually-says-some-kind-of-word-there-but-it-looks-entirely-nonsensical-to-me-so-yeah]
Someone: A - At any rate... Right now our priority should be making sure that Negi gets healed up properly. / I don't think anyone should be forcing kis- I mean, Pactios on him when he's sleeping...
Yuuna: Well, I mean, yeah! You can't go doing stuff like that! / Forcing it on him while he's asleep would just be cowardly, and boring, too...
Chisame: Nghh...!
Someone: Let's take turns watching over him 'til morning!♪

17
[Rock: DEFEAT RAKAN]
Yuuna: Still, I don't know... // Does Negi-kun really have to push himself all that far? // I mean, even I can see that this stuff he's doing now is pretty out there... / [aside]I still don't really get all this magic stuff, but I can tell that stuff's not good.[/aside]
Chisame: He's a ten-year-old kid trying to follow in the footsteps of his dad who saved the world. // Of course he's pushing himself. / Ending up like that is just the price he has to pay.
Yuuna: But surely there's no need to...
Takane: Oh? I rather admire him, myself.
Yuuna: Huh? Takane-senpai?
Takane: To lay one's life on the line and devote oneself to bettering the world... that is the true duty of a Magister Magi.

18
Takane: ...Come to think of it, I do believe your own parents were the same way. / Akashi Yuuna-san.
Yuuna: Eh?
Makie: I - I've gotta head to the bathroom~!
Ako: Oh, okay! // ...... // (...Ohhh, what am I thinking?! No, no, no! // I'm just terrible~~~~!)
