[insert text: Magical Girl Yue's memories are still locked away somewhere deep in her heart...]
Teacher: ...And so whilst it is true that there has been a long rivalry between the older nations of the north and the newer nations of the south, // even at the time of the Bellum Scismaticum war twenty years ago, there was never sufficient reason for all-out war. // All-out war held no benefit for either side, and there is no need for Mundus Vetus to see our folly over those hundred years. // The true cause of this war was the presence of evil persons leading the world astray, manipulating both sides from behind the scenes for their own personal gain. // These people, who had managed to worm their way into the very centre of both sides, / stirred up discontent and chaos, breeding anger and hatred, attempting to expand the scope of the war.
Yue: ...
Teacher: This infamous secret organisation is known as "Kosmo Entelecheia". // With the destruction of this organisation, and the sacrifice of Vespertatia's Royal Capital, Ostia, with all its long history, // the war came to an end, and complete disaster was averted.

2
Teacher: And the heroes who revealed the truth to the world before it was too late, saving the world from destruction, // were Nagi Springfield and his Ala Rubra group, who I am sure you all know.
Yue: ?!
Teacher: Is there some kind of problem? // Yue Farandole-kun.
Yue: N - No...
Collet: ?
Teacher: Now, then, in the last days of the war, Ostia was subjected to a mighty magical disaster, and it became impossible to live there. However, in present times, the situation has improved. // Next month, on the twentieth anniversary of the end of the war, there are plans to hold a great festival there, for all races, nationalities and faiths. / At this festival, there will also be a great fighting tournament in honour of Nagi...
Yue: (Nagi Springfield.. // The dead city of Ostia...)

Yue: Nagi Springfield... // So he's deceased, huh... // That feeling when I saw his photograph... I thought he might be someone I knew from before, but... // (When he was ten years old...) // ...?
Collet: Wha~~~~ddaya looking at, Yue~~~~~~~~~~?!
Yue: Whaaa?!
Collet: Hmmmmmmm?! What's this~? You researching about Nagi?!
Yue: Ah - No - I'm not really -
Collet: You should've just asked me in the first place!! // Truth is, I'm a huge fan of his too!!
Yue: Eh...

5
Collet: If it's Nagi merchandise you're after, I've got a ton~!♪ / Check it!♡ A Nagi dakimakura, Nagi figure, Nagi alarm-clock, Ala Rubra badge, Nagi mug... // They're all totally official! Heck, my Nagi Fanclub Membership Number is 96077!
Yue: Is... that a good thing? // (I couldn't possibly actually know such a famous person...)
Collet: Heck yeah, it is~! Five-digit numbers are pretty rare~! // Oh, yeah - if you like Nagi, I bet you'll be interested in this!
Yue: What's this... a recording...?
Collet: He's a gladiator from a town called Granicus.
ReporterPerson: Hi there~!☆ So, Nagi-san, everything's going great, huh~?♡
Yue: !!
ReporterPerson: I suppose you must be planning to take part in the tournament at Ostia, right?
Negi: ......Of course.
Yue: Who is this guy...?
Collet: Everyone's talking about him - he's the spitting image of Nagi. / Nice, isn't he~?♡
Emily: Hah... Late to the party as usual, I see, Collet-san!
Collet: ?!

6
Collet: Wh - What's that supposed to mean, Class Rep?!
Emily: Fools like yourselves claiming to be fans of Nagi-sama... How pitiful! Take a look at this.
Collet: Wha... Is - Is that - ?!
Emily: Heh...
Collet: M - M - M - M - Membership Number seventy-eight~~~~~?! Two digits... that's... that's...!
Emily: I have not seen fit to mention it before now, but... if you want a true fan of Nagi-sama, look no further than myself! // [aside]a fan since my parents' generation![/aside] // And now, long after Nagi-sama himself sadly passed away... // Why, that man must surely be a reincarnation that the heavens themselves have sent, that we may not lose our way!
Collet: Wha - !
Emily: Pathetic dunces such as yourselves are nowhere near worthy!
Emily: Aghhhhh... as though that has anything to do with being a fan anyway...!
Yue: ......... // Don't you think that gladiator could be the real Nagi himself?

7
Collet: Well, I don't think that's really possible. / Even amongst the fans, there are those who think he's just an impostor and don't want anything to do with him, and those who don't mind, since he looks like him... / ...then there are those who think he's a secret child of Nagi's, or a clone, a ghost, a brother, the man himself reborn... // In the end, nobody really knows who he might be. / [aside]I think it's something that needs to be looked into a little further...[/aside]
Yue: Hmm... // (Nagi Springfield... // I'm sure this person means something extremely important to me. Just looking at him gives me an incredible feeling... I start sweating, my breath catches in my throat, my cheeks start to flush... // Ah... don't tell me this is what they call "love at first sight"...?! // No, no, no, no, no, no! No way, that's just stupid, ridiculous! // ...At... at any rate, I get the feeling if I can just meet this person, I'll be able to get my memories... get everything back!) // ...Right. // We're going to Ostia!!!
Collet: Eeeehhh~?!

8
Collet: Ah - Yue, don't tell me... your memories...?
Yue: That's right... / [aside]I absolutely have to go and check.[/aside]
Collet: I see... but we're boarding students here, we couldn't possibly just go off to a festival in some far-off country... // [aside]I mean, I'd like to see Nagi too, and the festival sounds like fun, but still...[/aside]
[sFX: hm~~~~mmm...]
Yue: Yeah, I do kind of doubt we'd get permission to leave school to go off to a festival... / [aside]we have lessons and everything...[/aside]
[Text: The next morning]
Collet: Come on, this way, Yue, quick!
Yue: Wh - wh - what is it?
Collet: Just come and look!
[Notice: Now taking applications for a special security mission at the upcoming commemoration ceremony in Ostia. We will be taking two students from each year; in the event that there are too many applicants, a selection test will be held this weekend.]
Students: Being guards at the festival~?! What should we do? / We get credit for this, and I'd be able to work with Onee-sama - she's a knight... // I'd like to volunteer~!♪ / Aaahh~!
Yue: Th - This is...!

9
Yue: This is like an absolute godsend! It's so perfect it's ridiculous...
Collet: You've gotta try applying, Yue! / [aside]if we get chosen, we can go together![/aside] // Aaahhh, if I managed to get this post at the festival...! Buying sweets, staying up late, it would be great! And I might even meet Nagi himself~~~!♡
Emily: Hahah... Don't think it's going to be that easy.
Collet: Class Rep?!
Emily: Do you honestly believe a couple of dunces like yourselves could ever hope to be chosen for such a prestigious mission? // You fools!
Collet: Aghh... // Y - you're going to try too...?
Emily: But of course.

10
Collet: Aghhhhh... damn that girl! / I think she must have it in for you, since you've been improving so incredibly well since you first arrived here as a know-nothing novice.
Yue: Y - You think so?
Collet: But she really does have incredible skills... / We can't beat her...!
Yue: Don't worry, Collet. // We just have to train like crazy, just like always! // What's going to come up in this selection test?
Collet: Yue... // Y - You're right!! / The test is going to be a hundred-kilometre broomtop rally - with free-for-all magic permitted!!
Yue: Free-for-all...
Collet: Yeah... but of course, as students, we're not allowed to use actual offensive magic, so it'll probably turn into a frenzy of "Exarmatio"! // Well, to put it bluntly... it'll be a terrible "stripping battle"! / [aside]good thing this is an all-girls' school...[/aside]
Yue: STRIPPING BATTLE?!
Collet: Scared, are ya?
Yue: N - no...
Collet: But of course, it won't be quite that simple... You'll need great "Exarmatio" timing, and counter-spells will obviously be a factor... could be pretty difficult stuff.

11
Collet: But you have to meet that Nagi to get your memories back, right?
Yue: Yes, maybe... no, I'm sure of it!
Collet: Well, then...
Yue: Yeah. // Let's beat that Class Rep black and blue...
Collet: ...and get your memories back, Yue!!
Yue: Right, let's go for the knockdown~!!
Collet: Ostia, here we come~!!
Negi: ......
Rakan: What's up, kid?

12
Negi: ...I was just thinking about Yue-san, and Haruna-san, Anya and Kamo-kun... all the people we still haven't found...
Rakan: Hah. / You shouldn't be worrying about that stuff in the middle of your training. // But everybody else was all right, weren't they? / I'm sure those guys are too. // ...Hell, they might even be way ahead of you despite all your worrying.
Negi: ......
Rakan: Right now, when you can't even do anything yourself, you don't have the right to be worrying about them. // They're your nakama, right? Then believe in 'em.

13
Announcer: Well, then! // Let us now begin the Ostia Commemoration Ceremony Defense Team Selection Exam! / First, let us introduce the candidates! // From Class 3-C, we have Class Rep Emily Sevensheep, and Secretary Beatrix Monroe!
People: Go for it, Class Rep!
Announcer: From 3-F, we have J von Katze and S du Chat!
[TN: Their last names are "of the Cat" in German and French respectively :p]
Announcer: From 3-G, Marie de Noir and Louise de Blanc!
[TN: Okay, are all these names gonna be "themed"? :p]
Announcer: From 3-J, Mary Croix and Anna van Eyck!
[TN: I get the feeling I must missing a "theme" on this one. >_<]
Emily: Hahahah... this is going to be an easy victory. // (I'll be going to Ostia for certain, and then... // "Oh, I'm sorry...!")

14
Emily: ("I must take you to dinner... no..." // "Please, marry me!!" // "But of course!!") // Heh...
Announcer: And finally, from 3-C, we have the team of Yue and Collet!!
People: It's them... the Dunce Duo! // You're really going for this~? // Give it up, Collet~!
Emily: (Oho... looks like you've been doing some sort of training, but it's useless, of course. // This glorious mission is not suitable for the likes of you people!)
Yue: It'll be fine, Collet.
Collet: Y - Y - Y - Yeah, 'course it will! We did all that training, after all!
Yue: (It's true that I don't have any memories, but still... I get the feeling... // ...this is the first time I've ever thrown myself into something with quite such passion.)

15
Announcer: Well, then, contenders... // On your marks~!!
Collet: I - I'll take the rear guard, right?!!
Yue: Yep, and I'll handle the front!! / You just concentrate on defending, and we'll be okay!! // (I'm going to win this... // ...and meet up with that man!!)
Announcer: GO!!

16
Furry: Do you think Nagi-kun's all right, Natsumi...? // He's been recuperating for ten days now...
Natsumi: Apparently he'll be coming back soon!
Furry: Oh, is that right? Glad to hear it! // [aside]he's really somethin', that kid~!
Ako: So Nagi-san's coming back...! // All right, in celebration of his return to health... // I'm gonna make a ton of food!! I'll give it my all!!
Akira: Y - Yeah... // That's not a bad idea. / [aside]let's have a real party![/aside]
Ako: Oh - hey, Akira, did you know?
Akira: Hm?

17
Ako: Apparently, in this world, there was this other guy... / ...called Nagi Springfield, who looked just like Nagi-san, and he was really famous! // And that's why everyone's so excited about him!
Akira: ! // Negi-kun's father...!
Ako: Hm, do you think Nagi-san could be related to him somehow~? A famous guy like that...
Akira: ...
Ako: Hmm? Negi-kun's Nagi-san's cousin, so I guess him too...?
Akira: Ah - um... // Ako!!
Ako: Hm?
Akira: Ako... the - the truth is... there's something I reall have to tell you...
Ako: Oh...?
Akira: The - the truth is, well... N - Negi-kun and N - N - Nagi-san are...
Ako: ?
Akira: ...!! // N - Nagi-san...

18
Akira: ...He's... // ...really cool, isn't he.
Ako: ? // Yeah!♡
Akira: *gulp*
Ako: ?!
Akira: [aside]waaa~~~~~~hh![/aside]
Furry: Ah - Akira?
Akira: Wh - wh - wh - wh - what do I do, Murakami~?! Help meeee... // [aside]aaaahhh...[/aside]
Natsumi: C - Calm down, Akira...
[insert text: Heading towards the big event, it's all so bittersweet~!♡]

EDIT: Fixed up the missing gap between pages 15 and 16 (and the resulting subsequent numbering ~~). And fixed up an instance where I misspelled "Nagi" as "Negi" (damn those names for being so similar :p)
