[Period 298: There Is More Than One Future!]
[Insert text: A crisis approaches those left behind in the real world...!!]
Makie: Negi-kun! / Negi-kun, hang in there!
Chisame: Tatsumiya!!! // Hey! Tatsumiya! // Get a grip! // I thought you were meant to be a professional! // Open your damn eyes already!
ZazieSister: It is only natural, poyo. // The more unfulfilled wishes a person carries... // ...the greater the void that exists within their heart...

[Mahou Sensei Negima!]
[Insert text: Zazie's sister stands in Ala Alba's way to the bitter end!!]
ZazieSister: ...the more difficult it is for them to escape from this enticing dream... // ...from Cosmo Entelecheia, poyo.
Chisame: This is... "Cosmo Entelecheia"...?
ZazieSister: It is not the genuine enchantment. / The true Cosmo Entelecheia absorbs the subject, body and all, into an entirely separate world. For all eternity, poyo. // Incidentally, by its very nature, this technique... / ...is ineffective against so-called "rea-juus".
Makie/Chisame: ?!

3
Makie: Uh, Chisame-chan, what's a "rea-juu"?
Chisame: H - Hold it... / [aside]you've gotta be kidding me...[/aside]
Makie: Like... a Jew standing at the back...?
Chisame: No. It's internet slang, an abbreviation of "real-juujitsu". It refers to people whose "real lives" are "completely fulfilling". / [aside]The classic example would be someone in a happy relationship, with a loving family and tons of friends, basically having a rich and healthy life offline. It's not very well-defined, though.[/aside] // But hold it! Sasaki might fit that definition, but how the heck do I?! // I spend all my free time cooped up in my room in front of the computer screen, living my whole life on the internet!! I'm like the classic example of a non-rea-juu!! / In fact, considering how much time I spend sulking about how badly real life sucks, you could even call me the right-wing extreme of non-rea-juu culture, and hell, I'm even proud of it -
ZazieSister: ...or so you believe, but are you not surprisingly satisfied with your life on the inside, poyo?
Chisame: [aside]no... it's not true... // I'm not the same as Sasaki... // it can't be... this is some kind of trap...[/aside]
Makie: U - Uhh... Chisame-chan...? // Is this really something you should be going into shock about...? // [aside]that's actually kinda insulting...[/aside]
ZazieSister: Worry not, poyo.

4
ZazieSister: There is always the alternative... of taking you down by force, poyo.
Chisame: (This girl...!)
Makie/Chisame: Adeat!
Chisame: (She can't possibly be the real Zazie Rainyday!) // Sceptrum Virtuale!!
Makie: Liberum Lemniscus!! / Frango Stipes!! // Bombus Globus!!
Chisame: ...Wait, what am I doing?! There's nothing we can do in a fight!!
Mice: [aside]I'm sorry we're so useless, Chiu-sama~~![/aside]
Makie: My ribbon could come in pretty handy!
Chisame: Is that right!

5
Makie: You've got to get a grip, Negi-kun!! // Without you, she'll defeat us all!
ZazieSister: Negi-sensei is the biggest lost cause of all, poyo. // The greater the darkness in one's heart... / ...the more difficult it becomes to escape the untainted paradise of Cosmo Entelecheia.
Chisame: (This girl... // She doesn't get it at all! // If this kid was the kind of guy to be stopped that easily... // I wouldn't be here in this damn situation in the first place!) // Sensei...!
Makie: Negi-kun!!
ZazieSister: ?!

6
Negi: Sorry to keep you waiting.
Makie: Ahh...!
Chisame: Heh.
ZazieSister: Poyo...

7
ZazieSister: Impossible...
Negi: It is a pleasure to meet you... sister of Zazie-san.

8
Shirabe: !! / The intruders have reappeared! // They haven't moved from the spot where we last detected them! Now restoring visuals... // Sh... Shall I, Fate-sama?
Fate: Go ahead.
Koyomi: Ah...!
Zect: What...? // Negi Springfield... // You mean to tell me that you were able to escape from Cosmo Entelecheia...?! Replica or otherwise, that is...!

9
Fate: ......
ZazieSister: I see... so my little sister lent you a hand, poyo? // Negi-sensei.
Negi: Yes... I owe Zazie-san my thanks. // And besides... // No matter what might happen... / I still have to meet... / ...with Fate Averruncus.
Fate: ... // Heh...

10
ZazieSister: Dear dear, poyo poyo. // In that case... I have no choice but to stop you by force, poyo.
Negi: ...Why must you stop me?
ZazieSister: This world is doomed to perish, poyo. / [aside]as you well know.[/aside] // When this happens, most of the twelve hundred million citizens of the Magical World will perish with it... / And even those who are able to survive on the barren wasteland where they find themselves stranded... // ...will be forced into a war with the citizens of Earth, spanning more than a century, as their only hope of survival. / Tragic, is it not?

11
ZazieSister: The only way to avert this tragedy in its entirety... / ...is to proceed with the plan that Fate and his companions have prepared... // ...sealing this world away into Cosmo Entelecheia, poyo. // I may not be a citizen of either the the Magical World or the Old World... / ...but as one with the power to fight, I feel I am duty-bound... / ...not to allow this unprecedented calamity to go unchecked, poyo. // I have kept watch over you for some time, / praying that the son of the hero who saved this world would not pursue such a foolish course of action... // But I am left disappointed, poyoyo.
Chisame: ...!
Makie: [aside]not a citizen of either...? / then just who is Zazie-san...?[/aside]
Negi: ......... // Why...?
ZazieSister: ?

12
Negi: Why are you so certain that there is only one possible future?
ZazieSister: ...What do you mean, poyo...?
Negi: The future in which the Magical World is destroyed.
ZazieSister: ...That is an inevitable future which cannot be changed, poyo. // According to the calculations of my research institute, / the collapse will begin within nine years and six months at the latest, poyo.
Chisame: What?! // (Nine years and six months?! // That's too short...!! // I'd been assuming that we were talking about a matter of fifty or sixty years... thirty at the very least... // But within the decade, that ancient city will be reduced to...)

13
Chisame: (All the beauty of this world's nature... // All the splendour of that mighty city, and all of its citizens... // They'll all be gone in under ten years' time...? // I mean... it's not like this world has anything to do with me in the first place, but... // That's... it's just... // Even I can't...)
Negi: Thank goodness...
Chisame: (Thank... what?)
Negi: The timescale was the one factor that had me worried. / If we have nine years and six months, that should be plenty.
ZazieSister: Wh... What?
Negi: Fate Averruncus!! You're watching this, aren't you?! // Well, listen up!!!

14-15
Negi: I will do battle with you, just as you wish!! / But this you must hear!!!
Chisame/Makie: ?!
Fate: What...?
Negi: Are you listening, Fate...? The root of this whole affair is the collapse of the Magical World, a future that has been deemed inevitable. // But I... // ...have a plan to prevent that future.

16
Chisame: S... // Seriously?!
Negi: Seriously. // So you wait right where you are... / ...Fate. // I'll make you understand no matter what it takes!!
Koyomi: F... // Fate-sama? // Ahh...!
Fate: What nonsense is this...? / You disappoint me... Negi-kun.
[Insert text: Negi has a plan to save the world...? Fate trembles with wrath, and Negi brims with confidence! The final battle draws ever nearer!!!]
