[insert text: Nodoka safely retrieved!♡ Club Negima is almost completely reunited!♡♡]
Haruna: But man, I re~ally am so glad you're okay, Nodoka~!
Nodoka: Ehehe... Yeah, thans to all of you~! // But Paru, this really is incredible! You actually bought a boat like this...!
Haruna: Nyeheheh... You like it~?♪ // Fully equipped with toilets, bath and shower! // A beautiful kitchen, too! // We don't have enough beds, but with a little improvising, it can house the whole Negima club! // It's the perfect hideaway for wanted people like all of us!

2
Haruna: You can't miss the cute little eyes up front! It's a beautiful goldfish-style aerofish! / And I call it... the Great Paru-Sama!!
Nodoka: Eehhh... / [aside]that's a little, uh...[/aside]
Haruna: With a high-propulsion-pentagram-18-prayer-spirit engine and anti-pirate military-grade weaponry straight off the black market, I got this baby second-hand for just ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DRACHMA!! / [aside]that's a serious deal!![/aside]
Kazumi: 150,000... // We could sell this thing on for about a hundred thousand... would that put us closer to paying off Izumi and the others' debt...?
[Text: Selling a ship? Come to GOLIVER'S for a free estimate!]
Haruna: IT'S NOT FOR SALE~~~~~!!! / [aside]this is the product of my own blood and sweat~![/aside]
Nodoka?: [aside]150,000 is a serious amount of money...![/aside]
Chachamaru: We're here~!

[insert text: Setting all that aside... it's a great moving secret hideout!♡]
Asuna: Negi!
Negi: Hm?

3
Asuna: Don't you "Hm?" me! // What was that back there?! You've got some explaining to do!
Negi: Er... "that back there"...?
Asuna: That crazy technique you used that took out all those tough-looking bounty-hunters in an instant!
Negi: [aside]oh... well, that's, uh...[/aside]
Asuna: You're not just gonna brush this one off as nothing! I got a good look at it, all right?!
Negi: Ahh...
Asuna: You had these freaky swirly things on your hands... // And your eyes were all poking up like this, so you looked really scary and stuff!! / [aside]not to mention your whole body was shining all white, it was just crazy~![/aside]
Negi: I see you're very observant as always... / [aside]from that distance...[/aside]
Asuna: You'd better not have been taking any weird drugs or anything...
Negi: I HAVE NOT!!
Asuna: Anyway, hurry up and explain~!
Negi: Aaahhhh~!
Chisame: Huh, you guys sure got back quickly. / Well, it looks like you took care of them all right, at any rate.

4
Asuna: Did you just say "dark magic"~~?! // What're you trying to pull, using the kind of stuff you'd only expect to see really really evil mages using?!
Negi: Ah, yes, well, um...
Racan: Oh, yeah. That's "Magia Erebea". // I taught it to him.
Asuna: ...Aaaagh, it's you again! The pervert! What have you been teaching Negi?! / Aaaaaaaaagh, I take my eyes off him for an instant and look what happens...! // No, no, no, ABSOLUTELY NOT! NEVER USE IT!!! Seal it away forever!
Negi: Whaaa?!
Asuna: I don't ever want to see you using that evil stuff again!
Negi: B - But...! Asuna-sa -
Chisame: Hey, hey, hold it, Kagurazaka. // Just calm down already.
Asuna: Chisame-chan...

5
Chisame: This is a choice he made himself. // A choice he made... to protect all of us.
Asuna: !
Chisame: As you'd expect, he worried himself half to death before finally making the decision. // And I'm sure getting shouted at by you like that was something he considered. / So I'd suggest you stop just rejecting it out of hand and have a nice long think yourself.
Asuna: Ahh... // [aside]...I didn't mean it like that...[/aside] // B - But still... this is dark magic we're talking about... it has to have side-effects or something, right?
Chisame: Well...
Negi: Don't worry. // Magia Erebea is a technique that my Master developed a long time ago. // A technique that she herself used to use.
Asuna: Ah... // [aside]ahhhhh... / Eva-chan...[/aside]
Negi: She used it for hundreds of years without any trouble. I think that's proof enough that it's not going to be a problem. // It's not a dangerous technique at - // ?

6
Negi: ?!!
Asuna: You liar. // It is dangerous, isn't it.
Negi: (aaahhh...!)
Asuna: I can spot a lie from a kid like you a mile off.
[sFX: si~~~~~~~~~gh]
Negi: Ahhh... ehm... Asuna-san... could you maybe...
Asuna: ...Okay, fine.
Negi: Huh?
Asuna: I'd just forgotten. / I made a decision that I was going to follow you no matter how crazy far you pushed yourself.
Negi: Ah...
Asuna: HOWEVER! // Just like you want to protect all of us... / ...we all want to protect you as well.

7
Asuna: And just like you protect all of us... // ...if you ever find yourself in trouble, you can bet we'll come and get you from the depths of hell if we have to!! / You got that?! / You better be ready for it!!
Racan: Heh...
Negi: O... / Okay!

Johnny: There we go! // We're here, ojou-san and friends!
People: Ohhhh? Ahh, he's right! It's a flying island~!♪ / It's La*uta! La*uta!

Makie: We came without the slightest plan...

10
Announcement: We will be entering Ostia airspace in thirty minutes' time. / Battle Maiden Knight Squad to assemble on the upper deck immediately!
ThatOnePerson: Where are the apprentices?! Emily Sevensheep! What are you doing?! Hurry up!
Emily: Y - Yes, Senpai! // Dunce Duo! What's taking the two of you so long, hm?! / We have an audience with the Governor the moment we arrive at Ostia, you know! If you don't hurry up -
Collet: Ah, Class Rep, well, you see...
Yue: I - I'm sorry, Class Rep... // It looks like I'm just too short; the knight uniform doesn't exactly fit me...
Emily: ?!
Yue: C - Class rep, what should I...?

11
Yue: U - Um...
Emily: C - Crap... I actually thought she looked cute for a moment there... My ultimate rival... // Look, just fix it up at the back here! There's an adjustment control!
Yue: Ohh, I see... Sorry for the trouble...
Collet: That's our class rep!
Beatrix: Ojou-sama, quickly!
Emily: Now... / We head to our first great campaign! // Let us perform a fine job befitting of cadets to the Battle Maiden Knight Squad!
Everyone: Right!

12
Racan: Say... / You know the ruins that lie right beneath this sea of clouds...
Negi: Hm?
Racan: Once upon a time, they were hundreds of islands, floating in the sky through the power of natural magic... it was a beautiful and ancient city. / [aside]the food was great, and there were tons of hotties...[/aside] / They used to call it the fount of this world's entire culture. // The historic capital of the Kingdom of Vespertatia, steeped in tradition... the magnificent City of a Thousand Towers... the Flying Royal City of Ostia.

13
Racan: And into the line of the Royal Family was born a special child, one who bore a strange and mysterious power. // This power was the same as that which brought this world about... / ...a Godly power which threatened to put an end to the magical power that is the very breath that flows through this world. // The Twilight Imperial Princess... // The user of "Magic Cancel". // In the great war, twenty years ago... / ...those once-magnificent islands all plummeted from the sky. // All thanks to a gigantic magical disaster covering a diameter of fifty kilometres... the "Wide-Range Magic Disappearance Phenomenon". / The Kingdom was ruined, leaving a million refugees and various problems in its wake.
Negi: ...!

14-15
Racan: We... by which I mean your father... // ...dragged out and exposed those idiots who had manufactured the whole stupid war for their own selfish reasons... / ...reunited the feuding factions which had split the world into two... // ...eliminated the evil at its source, and prevented the destruction of the world. / However... // He failed to protect a single country, and a single weak little girl... // ...And he calls himself a hero...
Negi: ...
Racan: Heh... // She could grow into a fine woman yet.
Negi: ...Racan... // ...san...
Racan: Kid... / You and that girl are like the orphans that man left behind. // How about you try and protect her next time, hey? // That girl of yours.
Negi: .........
Racan: Nah, I guess that's not quite right... Hell, I even went and taught you your dark master's old secret forbidden technique... // ...You go protect everyone.
