Chapter 5
"So lemme get this straight," Chisame said, having changed Chachamaru's cloak turned into a makeshift dress (seeing as her original clothing was eaten…or at least she thought was eaten). "Negi-sensei did some weird spell that kills this Fate and Tsukuyomi people, but turns into a girl as a result?"
"Yes, that is the basic gist of it," Chachamaru said, nodding.
It suddenly became so silent that even the cricket chirping was loud.
"WHAT THE HELL KINDA EXCUSE IS THAT!!!??" Chisame yelled.
"But it's true," the female Negi whispered, looking down at her feet.
"I call bullshit," Chisame said, wrapping her makeshift dress tighter around her body. "That's just what it is! Complete and utter bullshit! First off, this chick here looks like that insane samurai girl from that barrier place. Secondly, how the hell can you be so sure that Negi-sensei just decided for a sex change then and there!? Finally, THIS WORLD IS WAY TOO FUCKED UP FOR ME!!! FIRST I'M STRANDED IN SOME DAMN FOREST, THEN NEARLY RAPED BY SOME FREAKY TENTACLE MONSTER, AND NOW MY TEACHER IS MISSING WITH THIS BITCH COMING OUT OF NOWHERE AND CLAIMING THAT SHE'S TEACHER! NOW TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!!"
"You know, we could very much leave you here," the gynoid said, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "WE have told you the whole truth, but you insist on denying it. We have no real use for you as it is; you cannot invoke your artifact, you have no magic or martial art skills, and your travel pace is generally slow."
"So your just gonna leave me here!?" Chisame yelled.
"Yes, we will," Chachamaru said coldly.
Staring at them, Chisame felt the coldness of her time in Mahora. How she was looked down on because she was a computer nerd. How she was pushed away because she loved to cosplay.
The ice that had slowly thawed in her heart from spending time with the whole Ala Alba group was slowly re-growing. It was paining her, and she didn't like the feeling.
"Fine," Chisame said, her head bowed. "I'm sorry."
The girl who was supposed to be Negi just smiled at her and went up to her, holding her hand. "It's okay Chisame-san. This is kind of a shock for me too."
The cosplay idol said nothing, but stared into the other girls face. Now that she looked hard enough, the girl looked almost like Negi, in terms of the shape of her face, her eye color, her complexion and her glasses. The face that the he had become a she was still unnerving, but it there was enough physical evidence to show that he had become a she.
"So, what now?" Chisame asked.
"Now we're going to look for the rest of the Ala Alba," Chachamaru said.
"How are we gonna get around the forest?" Chisame asked.
"As we've done already," the gynoid said, her jets flaring. "We'll just jump."
Just as they were about to get ready to go, Negi suddenly collapsed, holding her mid-section. Chisame was the first to notice, and ran over to her, closely followed by the gynoid.
"Whoa! Sensei!?" the cosplayer yelled. "What's wrong!?"
"I…I don't know," Negi moaned, resting her head on Chisame's shoulder. "I feel as if I'm burning up but freezing at the same time! Not to mention that I feel all fat and bloated, and my stomach's constantly churning."
Chisame and Chachamaru froze. They immediately knew what she was going through, and because of this incident, it seemed like Negi-sensei going back to normal was out of the question at this point.
Yes, filler chapter I know...anyone who doesn't know what's happening to Negi...well...I have no words to say to you.
