Mahou Sensei Negima!
Period 296: Bygone Days
[Insert text: Time, space, scents... All of it so nostalgic, and so comforting...]
Negi: Mmnhh... // (Huh...? What...?) // Mnhh... // (Where am... Mnhh...? What is this...? // It feels so... soft...)
Asuna: Mmnhh... stop... that... it tickl...es... / You're tickling... ehh? // Hey! ...What are you...?! / I said stop that already!

4
Negi: Ehh?
Asuna: Ahh... // Why... / ...you...
Negi: E... Erm... // I was... half-asleep, and...
Asuna: Climbing into my bed again, you pervy little kid~~~~~?!!
Negi: Waahhhhh~~?! / [aside]I'm sorry~~?![/aside]
Konoka: I'm amazed you never get bored of doing this every morning, you two. / [aside]who needs an alarm with you two around?[/aside] // By the way, do you remember what day it is?
Negi: Eh?
Asuna: Uhh...
Negi: Ahhh! Of course! It's the first of September! The new term starts today!
Konoka: You'd actually forgotten, even though you're the teacher, Negi-kun?
Negi: [aside]no - ah - I just had this really long and complicated dream, so I completely lost track of...[/aside]
Asuna: Please don't remind me...! // [aside]I never did get all my homework done...[/aside]

5
Negi: (That's right... I'm the teacher. // And with the summer holiday over, it's time for the new term to begin!)
TV: ...Investigations into this unidentified object, which suddenly materialised yesterday in the middle of the academy... / ...are still in progress, and the incident is affecting the lives of the thousands of students...
Konoka: Asuna, Asuna~! There's an interesting story on the news~!
Asuna: Not interested! I've gotta get to my part-time job!
Negi: What is it, I wonder? Some kind of aeroplane...?
Konoka: It looks like a goldfish!
TV: I'm sure it will just be a student prank, as usual. Or failing that, some kind of unauthorised movie filming... / This seems awfully intricate to be the work of the Tech Club or the Film Club, though, don't you think~? // This vehicle, as it appears to be, is fully equipped inside as well as out, and according to the experts...
Negi: ?
Asuna: We're gonna be late~~~~!
Konoka: Early to rise, but still late to school... only we could pull that off, huh~?

6
Nodoka: Ahh... / Ah... // Sensei... // E - Erm... I, ah... G - Goo - Good -
Yuuna: HEYAS~~~~~~~~~!!
Makie: G'MORNING~~~!♡
Yuuna: NEGI-KUN~~!
Negi: Good morning... you all seem to be in outrageously high spirits as ever...!
Makie: [aside]ya~~~y!♡[/aside] // Ahahahah! Well, that's all I've got going for me, y'know~?! / I guess we'll be seeing each other every day again now, huh~?
Negi: Ah - Makie-san, if you get so close, then I'm going to -
Makie: Eh?
Negi: Aa... / Aahh... // ACHOO!
Makie: Aahh?!!
Yuuna: Ahh...!

7
Nodoka: Aaahhh!
Asuna: You pervy little idiot, Negi~~~!
Negi: No, ah - wait - Asuna-san - that was -
Konoka: Eheheh...
Haruna: What're you doing watching from all the way over here, eh~~~? / You gotta be more proactive!
Nodoka: B - But...!
Asuna: NO EXCUSES~~~!
Negi: Guaahhh~!
Konoka: Ah... // S - Secchan! Morning~~!♪
Setsuna: Ah... // ...
Konoka: She left... Why does she have to be like that...?
Asuna: Well, I guess it's progress that she even acknowledged your greeting, right?
Negi: Ehm... is there something the matter with Setsuna-san?
Asuna: With Sakurazaki-san? I dunno... she's just always like that, isn't she?
Negi: She is?
Asuna: What's that look for, Negi? Don't tell me you've forgotten! She used to be a friend of Konoka's ages back, but they grew apart...
Negi: Ah... yes... of course, that's right...
Asuna: We were all going to start a big campaign to get them to make up and be friends again, remember?!
Negi: Yes... that's right, I remember now... // ?

Takahata: Negi-kun~~! // Good morning! Nice to see you're doing well!
Negi: Takamichi! / Good morning!
Takahata: About today - it looks like the flight from Britain is running a little late, so they'll be arriving a bit later than expected. // I'll contact you when they do arrive, so don't worry about it too much - just focus on your work, all right?
Negi: Eh...? // (What was this about again...? From Britain...? Oh, of course... Onee-chan was coming over here, was she?) // R - Right! Thank you! / I'm running late, so see you later!

Ayaka: Stand! // Bow! // Be seated!
Negi: Good morning, everyone!

10
Negi: Did you all enjoy your summer holidays~?
Students: Yes~~~! // Yay~~~!♪ // ...What are you, primary-schoolers...? / I'm surrounded by idiots...
Negi: Did you all finish your homework~?
Students: Aaaahhhhh~~~! / Don't say that~~~! // Don't remind us~~~! // Ngh... / Ahh...
Ayaka: What kind of attitude do you call that, everyone?! You should be ashamed! You are lucky enough to be Negi-sensei's students, are you not?! // You should at least have the decency to hand in a little thing like your summer assignments with grace and -
Negi: That's quite right! Anybody who has forgotten their homework will have to be punished! / [aside]I'll see to it personally![/aside]
Ayaka: [aside]punished... // by Negi-sensei...[/aside]
Negi: Erm......? / Class Rep...?
Ayaka: Sensei! I, Yukihiro Ayaka, have a shameful admission to make! I somehow managed to completely forget about the homework assignment for the entire summer holiday, and...
Students: You liar~~! / Run for it, Sensei~~!
Negi: Eh?
Ayaka: Now then, let us proceed directly to the punishme-
Asuna: Stop right there, you pervert!! / [aside]stop taking your clothes off![/aside]

11
Ayaka: What on Earth do you think you are doing, Asuna-san? You utter brute, how dare you punch people in the back of the head out of -
Asuna: You're the one who needs to stop suddenly going all pervy all the time!
Students: [aside]all right~~! // fight! fight! // three meal tickets on Class Rep! / four on Asuna![/aside]
Ayaka: Excuse me~~~~~?!! That's rich coming from you! Why, you have a veritable mountain of unsubmitted work! Are you trying to keep Sensei's punishment all to yourself?!
Asuna: Is there something wrong with your head?! Just get back here already - !
[SFX: ding~~~~~ dong~~~~~ dang~~~~~ dong~~~~~]
Misa: Bye now, Negi-kun~~!♡
Negi: See you tomorrow! Take care on your way home, Kakizaki-san, Kugimiya-san!
Yuuna: Negi-kun! Are you doing anything today? Want to come have some tea or something?
Negi: Oh - yes, please!
Yuuna: We'll be waiting by the station, then~~!
Negi: All right~!
Eva: Out of my way. / Don't just stand there with that ridiculous blank, staring look, brat... it irritates me.
Negi: Ah... // Master... // Ch... Chao-san...?

12
Chao: Hm? // Is something the matter, Negi-bouzu? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Eva: Did you just call me... "Master"? // I hardly think I have done anything to warrant being addressed in such a frivolous manner by the likes of you.
Negi: Eh... huh...? / Y - You're right, of course... I'm sorry...
Eva: Make sure it doesn't happen again. // I cannot stand brainless brats like you.
Chao: [aside]you sure are harsh, Eva-san![/aside]
Zazie: ......
Negi: ... // Well, she's as intimidating as ever... // Why is Eva-san always so hostile towards me, I wonder...? I don't understand it... / [aside]I'm a failure as a teacher...[/aside]
Zazie: (Do not worry... You will surely be able to make peace with her in this world also...)
Negi: Eh? // Who's there...? // H... Huh...?

13
Negi: ...
Makie: ...so it sounds like it's really cool! / [aside]not the things jumping out at you, but the sense of depth![/aside]
Yuuna: We should go see it together, yeah?♪
Negi: Eh? / Ah...
Yuuna: Aw, c'mon, Negi-kun... don't tell me you weren't listening?! Too entranced by our beauty, were you~~?
Negi: Eh? // No, I -
Makie: Awww, really~~? Don't be shy now~~!
Ako: Are you all right, though, Negi-kun? You've been acting kinda strange ever since this morning.
Akira: ...Are you not feeling well or something? Is the heat getting to you?
Negi: Oh - no - I just, ah...

14
Negi: ...... // I was just thinking... this is all so peaceful and happy...
Makie/Yuuna: (...?!) // What is this ten-year-old kid coming out with all of a sudden~~?!
Negi: Uwaahhh?!
Makie/Yuuna: Who d'you think you are, some retired army vet~~~?!! // You did look pretty cool for a moment there, though~!♪ // [aside]you'd think Negi-kun looks cool no matter what he does![/aside]
Negi: ... // (That's right... // This is no different from last term... // Our usual everyday life... // No major incidents, nothing in particular happening... // ...but far from boring nonetheless... // ...... // That's all we ever had... right? // I mean... it's not as though I'm dissatisfied with this life, or that I don't like it... // But... for some reason... // I get the feeling I'm forgetting something incredibly important... // Something I was... looking for... // Something I was striving to achieve...)

15
Negi: (Something...)
Nagi: Ahhhh! Hahah! So this is where you were, Negi!
Negi: Eh...?
Nagi: The flight ended up getting here sooner than we expected, you know! // So we thought we'd head straight to your room and see if we couldn't surprise you, but... // Hey.

16
Nagi: How're ya doing, son?
Negi: Dad... // M... / Mother...?

17
Girls: Why, if it isn't Nagi-san~~! / It's Negi-kun's dad~~! / [aside]long time no see~![/aside]
Nagi: Hahahah! You girls sure seem to be as lively as ever! / Thanks again for everything back during Golden Week.
Yuuna: And could this possibly be...?!
Nagi: Yep! This is her all right! My sweet honey, Arika!
Arika: Don't call me "honey", you fool.
Nagi: Hey, what're you hiding for? You can't go getting all embarrassed in front of your own son!
Arika: Well... ehm... I... // All right then... My son. / I mean, Negi. // H - Have you been in good health? / No colds, or summer ailments, I trust...? // Hm...? // Wh... What...?!

18
Arika: Wh... Wh - Wh - Wh - Whatever could be the matter, Negi?! Are you hurt somehow?! / Is it your stomach? Does your head hurt?
Negi: Wh... Wha...? I... huh? / That's strange... why are all these tears...
Nagi: Ehhh~? What's this now? Surely us coming to pay you a visit can't annoy you that much...!
Negi: N - No, I'm not hurt, I... It's nothing... I just... felt so happy, somehow... ehhh...?
Arika: What was that? What are you saying?
Yuuna: He's crying 'cause he's happy, of course, you idiot father!!
Nagi: Whaaaa? / [aside]really?[/aside] // But we saw you just four months ago, didn't we? There's no need for all this~! / [aside]man, you're hopeless...[/aside]
Arika: Are you all right? Are you all right, Negi?
Negi: Y... Yes... It's really nothing...
Girls: Negi-kun's still only ten years old, you know!! / [aside]honestly, this old guy is always completely oblivious...[/aside] // Negi-kun... you really were lonely, huh...? Eheh... // Nagi-san's one thing, but there's something not-quite-all-there about his wife, too... y'know? // She's a real looker, though...!
Zazie: ...... / ...Once... // Fall but once... into its grasp... / ...and you can never return... // This is the place that severs all ties... the eternal garden... / The Untainted Paradise... // Cosmo Entelecheia.
