Shiori!Asuna: Ta... / Tatsumiya-san? // Why are you here, Tatsumiya-san...?
Text: The strongest sniper is the greatest knight.
Mana: I was doing some investigations on the terrorist attack in Megalomesembria... / But I got called to Ostia during the first day of the festival. / And as requested by Mr. J. Rakan, I am to protect you from the shadow.
Shiori!Asuna: That perv... / Rakan-san?
Mana: Okay, save the talking for later, Kagurazaka. / Now, we have to withdraw from this mess.
Shiori!Asuna: What... withdraw... / You mean running away!? How about these guys!?
Mana: This bunch huh...

Page 2-3:
Text: Facing the threat of darkness stands only the professional.
Period 276: The strongest companion!
Mana: Don’t just go and ask me to clean them up. / It’s not included in the contract.
Shiori!Asuna: Are you kidding!? // What about that little girl? You have to help!
Mana: My job is to protect you. / Other than that, none is of my concern.
Shiori!Asuna: WHA---!? Why? Why is that!? / Is that the kind of person you are, Tatsumiya-san!?
Mana: Pretty much. / [aside]moreover, like I said, me taking care of them would put you in danger.[/aside]
Shiori!Asuna: Hmm... // Mmmm... // Fine! Then, I’ll hire you, Tatsumiya-san!! / How about that!?
Mana: What...

Page 4:
Shiori!Asuna: Wah!
Mana: Comparing to your earning from newspaper delivery... / ...my bullets are damn expensive, Princess.
Shiori!Asuna: Well… I’ll pay after I’ve got rich…
Mana: ...Hmm. // Alright. // You seem to have the chance for that.

Shiori!Asuna: Wow--- / [aside]nice...[/aside]
Misora: What’s with that human typhoon? / I mean... how the heck did you pull that thing out? From the "magical valley"? / [aside]between those hills?[/aside]
Yue: Amazing... / [aside]those people are really...[/aside]
Mana: Hmm... // Frailer than I thought. / I’ll give you a discount. Okay, Kagurazaka?

Page 9:
Chisame: Tch... what’s with all this rumbling?
Kazumi: Can you get through, Chisame-san?
Chisame: Nope. Telepathy is interrupted.
Kazumi: Sayo-chan on my side does not respond either!
Chisame: Uhm... Once the negotiation failed, we have expected something would happen. However, something is not right… This quake...
Kuu: Are you okay, Negi-bouzu?
Negi: Ye…yeah. / [aside]I’m sorry, Kuu-roshi.[/aside] // (This is... / ...really bad...)
Chisame: Hold on! It’s Saotome’s voice!
Haruna: Negi... Chisame-cha... can you... hear me? / Emergency...! ...an B! ...location change! ...summoned demons... Up here is a mess...!
Chisame: Something is really going on up there, it seems! / Plan B, gathering location has changed!!

Page 10:
Kazumi: Plan B!? Got chased by the Governor’s underlings already?
Chisame: No. It seems like some other incident has occurred.
Kazumi: You mean new enemies!?
Chisame: Whatever it is, we must hurry to the second gathering point! It’s right below this floating island --- The Import Dock!
==Map==
Governor’s Mansion
Inside the floating island
Establishment of Megalomesembria Fleet stationed in Ostia
Star: The second gathering point
The Import Dock
Arrow: To the Abandoned Capital
==End Map==
Chisame: That means we must go down about a few hundred floors below the building. Once we get there, we will fly straight away to the abandoned capital!
Kuu: A few hundred floors are too many, aru! / [aside]with Negi-bouzu in this state...[/aside]
Kazumi: [aside]and a very high chance of getting captured by the soldiers.[/aside]
Chisame: [aside]we can only try our best to help sensei out.[/aside]
Negi: Nodoka-san, what’s wrong?
Nodoka: ... // Sen- sensei, that... this... this is-...
Negi: Eh...
Nodoka: The secret of the world... / One final piece...
Kuu: Honya?
Negi: Nodoka-san?
Kuu: [aside]are you okay?[/aside]
Negi: !?

Page 11:
Chisame: !?
Nodoka: Kyah...
Kazumi: Aa... // Geh! // Darn...
Negi: Asa...
Nodoka: Asakura-san! My hand!!

Page 12:
Negi: !!
Kazumi: Kyaah!
Nodoka: Waahh!
Negi: Nodoka-san!!
Nodoka: Aaa!
Chisame: Oi! What are you doing!?
Negi: I must use Raitentaisou to save them.
Chisame: Stupid! You can’t! That’s too much for you at the moment!
Nodoka: Urg...
Kazumi: Kuh! // He... hehe. Miyazaki, thanks a lot! You are my life savior! / You’ve become stronger...
Nodoka: Yo... you are-... welcome... Kurhh... // Arg!

Craig: Yoh, little girl.
Aisha: [aside]hover.[/aside]
Nodoka: C-... / Craig-san!?
Negi: Ah... that person is... / ...one of Nodoka-san’s companions...
Craig: O---Y! KIDDO!! Like you’ve just heard little lady said! Just leave everything over here to me! / We’ll take them both to the gathering point!!
Kazumi: [aside]thank you.[/aside]
Nodoka: [aside]Aisha-san, how come...?[/aside]
Aisha: [aside]just take a look at this guy’s worrying face.[/aside]
Negi: Bu…but!

Page 14:
Craig: Nodoka-jouchan is also our precious companion!! / We treasure hunters have a very strong team spirit!! / I’ll show you how we take care of these young ladies!!
Negi: Erg...
Craig: Right?
Nodoka: Ah... // Yes! / Thank you very much.
Craig: Oh... // Heh... / Then... let us move...
Aisha: (What are you blushing for, you lolicon!!)
Craig: Ack!?
Kazumi: Mm? Mmmm? Miyazaki? What’s that just now? / So suspicious~ What? Not only did you get stronger, but also became more popular, didn’t you? A "hot lady"? Or a “play girl"?
Nodoka: No. Ahm... It’s not what you think --- / [aside]I’m just like a childhood friend to him.[/aside]

Page 15:
Nodoka: Awawahh-!? What’s happening---
Craig: Run! Just run---!!
Negi: I understood, Craig-san!! / I'll leave them to your care!!
Craig: Okay! // Hahahahaha, I didn’t think we could ever run together again!
Nodoka: R-right! / [aside]isn’t it?[/aside]
Craig: Don’t worry! I’ll make sure to take you... / ...back to that little boy of yours.
Aisha: So Nodoka, we’re gonna escort you girls all the way to the Gateport in the abandoned capital. / Since something like this has already been going, there gonna be a high chance of encountering the enemies, isn’t it?
Craig: Yeah! That’s very true!
Nodoka: Eh... Al... All-all the way there is...
Craig: No need to be reserved, we are like family after all. To be able to get into a dungeon together with you again...
Nodoka: Ah!

Page 16:
Nodoka: Hold on!! / There’s something!
Aisha: Nrgh! That...
Craig: Before our telepathy got interrupted, according to the information from Chris, it seems like a terrorist attack with summoned demons is taking place above. / That could be...
Black one: Miyazaki Nodoka... / I’ve heard that thou are dangerous.

Page 17:
Black one: I will eliminate thee.
Craig: Hey, you git! Something’s wrong with your head? / I will never let you lay a finger on her!
Black one: Shut up, wood doll. // Rewrite!
