[Period 297: Cosmo Entelecheia]
[Insert text: In a Mahora Academy filled with smiles, will Negi be able to face up to his own happiness?!!]
Nagi: Ahahahah! // And the second the kid saw my face, wouldja believe it, he burst out into tears! / I mean, seriously!
Konoka: Did he really do that, Nagi-san? / That's pretty surprising... Negi-kun's usually so composed and everything!
Negi: Can't we just leave that topic alone now...?! // Dad...!
Konoka: I guess Negi-kun must've been really happy to see his mother!
Arika: Mnhh...!
3
Arika: I... Is that true, Negi? // Did seeing me... / ...truly make you as happy as all that...?
Negi: W - W - Well, yes, of course! / B - But I don't even understand myself why I burst out into tears like that... // I... I'm so sorry for making you worry...
Arika: I... I see... No, that is all right. Feel free to cry all you wish. // We have made things so difficult for you...
Negi: N - No... // This training was something that I wanted to do...!
Arika: L - Let's see... perhaps I should pat your head... // W - Would you mind? // [aside]at all...?[/aside]
Negi: N - No... of course not... / [aside]I appreciate it...[/aside]
Nagi: Gaaaahhhhh~~~!! / This is ridiculous~~~~~~!! What kind of mother and child are you?! / [aside]staring at each other all embarrassed and polite and stuff...![/aside]
Arika: [aside]aaahh?![/aside]
Negi: [aside]uwaaahhh~?[/aside]
Nagi: Ya gotta get more up-close and personal!! // How else are you gonna get your feelings across?![/aside]
Arika: I - I must apologise for my terrible husband... // [aside]that didn't hurt you, did it?[/aside]
Negi: N - No, that's, ah... // [aside]it felt very soft...[/aside]
Nagi: Oh, for the love of~~~!! / [aside]are you just gonna ignore me?![/aside]
Konoka: They're a pretty weird sort of family, huh? / [/aside]looks like fun, though![/aside]
Asuna: Arika-sama... Negi's mother doesn't really seem very mother-like, does she...? / [aside]she's so... hesitant... // and that way of speaking she has...[/aside]
4
Nagi: Ah, well... / I guess you can hardly blame her... she's barely had a chance to see the kid his whole life, so she's not used to the parenting thing. // But now that we've got some time to ourselves, we both oughtta be able to see you more often... heck, we might even stay here for the time being.
Negi: Eh...? R... // Really...?
Arika: ...Yes.
Girls: Heyas~~~~~! // Nagi-san, are you really going to be moving here~~~?! / Man, that's awesome news! // Well, we'd better give you a proper welcome party then~! // [aside]here, we brought you a few things~[/aside] // Hey there, sorry to intrude~!
Nagi: Ahh, it's you girls! / [aside]come on in~![/aside]
Asuna: Guahh...
5
Ayaka: Negi's father! It has been quite some time! // And his mother - how nice to meet you! / Yukihiro Ayaka has arrived to greet you both~!
Nagi: Oh, the Yukuhiro girl! Hey there! / [aside]thanks again for last time![/aside]\
Ayaka: My name is Ayaka. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Arika: Why, thank you very much...
Twins: Yahoo~~~!♪
KuFei: [aside]we've brought some food from Chao Bao Zi~![/aside]
Twins: Negi's papa and mama are here~~~?! / Let's see them, let's see them~~!
Nagi: Somewhere to stay? No, we haven't sorted that out just yet...
Ayaka: Then allow me to take full responsibility for preparing lodgings for you!
Nagi: Really? Wow, thanks...!
Arika: Y... Yes... It all seems very orderly... / [aside]I am impressed.[/aside]
Negi: Oh no - it's not really...
Arika: Is the training difficult?
Negi: Well... it's certainly challenging... but my students are all wonderful people, and...
Twins: [aside]wow... she's really pretty~!! // I can't see~~! // let go, onee-chan~~![/aside]
Girls: I hear the hot dad is back again~? // I guess that means a party today, huh? Let us join in~! / I just have to see this legendary beauty of a mother!
6
People: That's enough~~!! We can't fit any more people in here~~!! // Now, now, Asuna... // Come now, Mrs. Springfield, please take a drink... // Oh, why, thank you...! // Come on, Negi-kun, sit down with your mother~! // R - Right...! // A~~~nd... // KANPA~~~~I!♡
Asuna: They drink, they mess up the whole place, and then they run off...!
Nagi: Ahahahah!
Negi: Ueehh~~
Nagi: Trust my son to surround himself with beautiful girls, eh?!
Arika: It was like a passing storm...
Konoka: Are you staying in the area today?
Nagi: Yeah. We couldn't possibly impose on you guys. / [aside]the Yukihiro girl has sorted something out for us.[/aside]
Negi: Eh...?
Asuna: You go stay with your parents for tonight, Negi. / [aside]spend some time as a family![/aside]
Nagi: Oh, good call! Yeah, how about it, Negi?
Negi: Ahh...
Arika: ...Wh... // What is it...? Do - Do you not want to...?
Negi: O - Of course I do! / [aside]don't be silly~![/aside]
7
Nagi: Oh, yeah. Old man Stan was saying how lonely it gets without you around. / [aside]he was asking if you'd be coming back any time soon.[/aside]
Negi: Eh?
Nagi: Well, you didn't come home over the summer, right? You should go back this winter, give the guy a visit. // He may not act like it, but he does really like you, you know.
Negi: ... // Y... Yes, of course...

[no text just happy]

Nagi: Hahahah... So, you sure have got an entertaining bunch of students, huh? / How is it? You having fun?
Negi: Yes. Every day is wonderful.
Arika: Are you... // ...truly happy?
Negi: ...Yes. // I honestly am. // But...
10
Negi: This is not the real world. // Isn't that right? // Zazie-san.
Zazie: Correct, Sensei. // However, this too is a form of reality...
11
Negi: And by that... // ...do you mean to say that this is the "Cosmo Entelecheia" that Fate is trying to create?
Zazie: This is an illusion brought forth by her Artifact. // However, it is so close to the real thing as to be indistinguishable.
Negi: ("Her"...?)
Zazie: So yes, you may think of this world as Cosmo Entelecheia.
Negi: A... An outrageously convenient dreamworld like this...?
Zazie: It is no mere convenient dreamworld. / It is a happy reality that could have been. // The ultimate possibility... / In your case...
12
Zazie: ...a world in which Fate and his companions were entirely defeated twenty years ago. That is what you have just witnessed. // Without them, Nagi would never have gone missing... / ...the attack on your village six years ago would have been prevented by Nagi... // ...thanks to Nagi's continued presence, Evangeline would never have attacked you... // ...the incident initiated by Fate during your school trip... / ...and the attack on Mahora Academy by Demon Lord Hermann would never have happened... // ...and even Chao's incident during the school festival would have been averted for the present. // In other words, it is a world in which you have no enemies... / ...and no battles to face. // A world in which you are free to enjoy a life... / ...free of conflict and filled with happy warmth.
Negi: ...... / You say that this is in "my case"?
13
Zazie: Indeed. / Each of your friends is currently enjoying a similar experience. // Allow me to show you.
Setsuna: Nnhhh...
Negi: Setsuna-san?
Konoka: Seccha~~~n! Breakfast is ready~~~!
Setsuna: Ahh! // My apologies, Ojou-sama... / [aside]I overslept...![/aside] // O - Ojou-sama?! What on Earth are you wearing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~?!
Konoka: Hmmm~~? Is there something wrong, Secchan?
Setsuna: (She's half-asleep~~~~?!) // O - O - Ojou-sama, you have to put some clothes on~!
Konoka: Hmmnnhh~~?
Negi: Th... This is... // ...a "Cosmo Entelecheia"?
Zazie: ...My apologies. // This was an inappropriate example.
14-15
Negi: E - Erm... Whose world exactly was...
Zazie: Are you familiar with the phrase "Ignorance is bliss", Sensei?
Negi: [aside]she's like some kind of salesperson...[/aside]
Zazie: Cosmo Entelecheia presents the happiest possible world for each individual... / ...calculated on the basis of their wishes and regrets. // It can take place at any point during their lifetime... / ...and represents a world free from death, and filled with warmth and happiness. // Depending upon your perspective, this could be seen as the ultimate realisation of an "Eternal Garden".
Negi: I - I get the feeling this isn't the sort of thing anyone but the person in question should be seeing... // ......But... / Even so, this is not the real world.
Zazie: Indeed... these girls are still young. For most of them... / ...these worlds could easily be but a small step away... // ...with no need for Cosmo Entelecheia, or indeed anything but a little courage. // And that is the keyword that will allow them to leave this place... "Audacia Paula", "a little courage".
16
Negi: Wh... / Who exactly... are you...?
Zazie: More importantly... are you sure about this, Sensei? / The world that you have just seen... // ...is a paradise the likes of which you will most certainly... / ...never again be able to achieve, no matter how hard you try.
Negi: ...! // ............ // No. // ...I have seen enough.
Zazie: There is no need to deny yourself. // Do you have no wish to return... to be with your father and sleep on your mother's lap, just for one night?
Negi: ... // I feel as though if I were to stay any longer, I would never be able to return.
17
Negi: Fate is neither an enemy to be eliminated, nor an evil person. / I have to meet him. // That's why... I cannot allow myself to stand still in this place any longer.
Zazie: Then...?
Negi: Yes. // I will move onward.
18
Zazie: The one waiting for you outside is my elder sister.
Negi: Eh?
Zazie: She is a powerful opponent. Please be careful.
Negi: Th... Then you really are... / ...the real Zazie-san...?
Zazie: I will be waiting in Mahora for your return. // With the Class Rep and the others.
Negi: ...... // Right! // Audacia Paula!
[Insert text: He bids farewell to happiness! With an unshakable determination, Negi heads for the final battle!!!]
