Lips That Caused a War

Settling on his futon, Gamiya continued reading his book. He had already reached halfway into the second installation of Lord of the Rings when he heard Nitta start shouting about 3A. He smirked, remembering the times he got scolded for trying to sneak out of the church at night to roam around.

"Ah, good times," he thought cheekily to himself. Who knew he would end up in another world, reminiscing about the past? Little did he know, this night was going to be pretty weird in itself.


"Wouldn't it be a waste if the night just ended like this?" Kazumi questioned the other girls, "Why don't we and the rest of 3A play a little game?"

"What are you talking about? As class president, I won't allow this!" protested Ayaka.

"A game? What sort of game?" asked Sakurako excitedly.

"Agreed!" exclaimed Fuka wholeheartedly.

"Opposed! I don't want to squat in the lobby!" protested Fumika.

"Let's just call it 'War of the Lips'…" explained Kazumi mysteriously, "…a plan to get a 'Love Love Kiss' with Negi-sensei during the school trip!"

"Eh! A kiss with Negi-kun!" exclaimed the gathered crowd.

"Hey, hey, not so loud," shushed the reporter.

After the girls quieted down, she started explaining, "The rules are simple. Every group will choose two representatives. All they have to do is not get caught by Nitta-sensei and everyone else, and get a kiss from Negi-sensei, who's somewhere in the building. You are allowed to sabotage the other teams! However, the only weapons you can use are pillows! There are wonderful prizes for those who do well. Furthermore, if you are caught by Nitta-sensei, you can't tell him about the game! You'll have to squat there until morning even if you end up dead!"

Everyone started whispering amongst themselves. Then, Madoka asked, "Er, what about Iroi-sensei? What if we are caught by him? Or are we including him in this too?"

Certain faces started blushing, including Kazumi. "No, we are not including Iroi-sensei in. This is for Negi-sensei's lips only!" she quickly said.

Then, Ayaka stepped up to her and grabbed her shoulders. "Let's do it," she said, "As class president, I wholeheartedly approve!"

"All right! Every group should let me know which two contestants they will be choosing before 10:30," Kazumi announced quietly, "The game begins at 11.00!"

As the girls discussed among themselves while they went to their respective rooms, Kazumi chuckled and asked, "How was that? Everything went well right?"

"Just what I expected from Nee-san!" exclaimed Chamo as he popped out from the top of her vest, "Everything is going according to plan!"

"Hey, where do you think you're hiding?" she questioned, "You are a real pervert, you know?"

The ermine chuckled and said, "My big 'Love Love Kiss' operation's other side… takes the form of these cards."

"The pactio cards," he announced as he flourished them, "We're gonna get a whole bunch of them!"

She chuckled in turn and asked, "So these are the 'wonderful prizes' eh? All we have to do is collect them, right?"

"That's right," the ermine affirmed, "Aniki has the originals, but these are copies I've made with my power for the partners to use! If we count these two mistakes, then aniki's already got three!"

"I've already set up a magic circle around this entire hotel," Chamo explained further, "If anyone kisses aniki or Mr. Iroi while they are in the hotel, we'll be able to establish the contract immediately."

"Eh? But we didn't include Iroi-sensei into the game…" she stated as she trailed off.

"Ah, well, it's a bit too late for that now," the ermine said without regret, "But think about it. One card is worth fifty thousand ermine dollars, so… we're gonna be millionaires, Nee-san!"

"And what's more, we're gonna make even more money out of the betting pools for the contest!" the reporter exclaimed excitedly, "This is so great! I just can't stop laughing!"


Gamiya laid his bookmarked book beside his futon. It felt pretty good reading it. Then, he suddenly heard Nitta shouting something. Putting on his yukata, he went out his room to find out what happened. He found Nitta in the lobby standing over two sighing girls he didn't really know, Chisame and Yuna.

"Hey, what did they do now?" the high priest asked.

"I explicitly warned them I will have them sitting seiza in the lobby if I ever find them outside their rooms, yet I still find these two outside their rooms after bed time," the teacher said fiercely.

"Heh… I think you can leave them here. You girls won't move right?" the high priest asked the girls.

"Yes, sensei… until morning…" they droned sadly and went back to their sighing.

"Hmpf," the strict teacher huffed before walking off.

Gamiya turned back to the girls and wondered why they were out of their rooms in the first place.

"What ifthat monkey lady is backsomehow it doesn't seem likely, but you can never be too sure. Better check on Konoe then…" he thought as he walked off to Group 5's room.

"Hey, is everyone… what the hell is going on?" he exclaimed as he walked in to find Haruna and Konoka glued to the television. He stormed in to look at the screen, only finding it somehow split to six panels, each showing camera shots of a few groups.

He looked at the screen dumbfounded, wondering what in Midgard was going on. Then, everything turned black.


"Eh, Haruna-san! What are you doing?" exclaimed Konoka. Gamiya was lying on the floor unconscious with her group member standing over him with one of Yue's books.

"Shh, look if we let him out, he will tell Nitta-sensei and everything will be over before we find out the winner," Haruna quickly shushed her.

"But… I didn't imagine this…"

"Don't worry, Konoe-san, we can explain it to him after the 'war' is over," she said with a grin.

Then, a really sneaky idea came to her… an idea for a new manga for her to produce.

"Konoka…" she said with a leery grin, "I dare you to kiss Iroi-sensei!"

"Eh!" sounded a very shocked Konoka.

"I'll help you with Sakurazaki if you do…" said the mangaka as she dangled the proverbial carrot.

"Ah, ok," Konoka quickly agreed.

Quickly, Haruna turned the sleeping assistant teacher over. Konoka kneeled next to his head and bent over very slowly, blushing as she did so. Without warning, the mangaka pushed her head down into a full kiss on the lips. Letting out a perverted giggle, she started taking notes in a notebook that suddenly appeared in her hand. Konoka just seated herself upright, blushing as she covered her mouth with her hand.

Suddenly, five kissing requests were blared out by the television. The dare immediately got pushed out of their minds and both of them sat down and glued their eyes to the box in shock.

"Woah, what the heck is this?" whispered Haruna with delight.

With a groan, Gamiya sat up. Grumbling and muttering about spanking someone, he caught sight of the two in front of the television. He got up and looked.

"What the hell…" he muttered in shock. He watched as chaos unfolded the moment Yue smashed her book on one Negi, making it explode in smoke and leaving behind a small piece of human-shaped paper.

"Wait a minutewho gave that to Negi?" he wondered in his head.

He continued watching as they somehow cornered the fake Negi's in the lobby. Ku Fei kissed one and that exploded. Then, Nitta came into the lobby and was scared by the three fakes into unconsciousness. Then they split up and each got chased down and kissed by Makie, Ayaka and the twins. All three exploded into smoke. Then suddenly the screen panned to the lobby where Nodoka and Yue were meeting Negi. The high priest bet this time that was the real Negi. He got up and left the room, intent on getting answers.


He came to Setsuna and Asuna hiding behind a corner and peeking at the lobby.

"What are you two…" he started to ask but was shushed by the two girls. He then peeked around with them, only to see Yue trip Nodoka into kissing Negi.

"This is seriously one screwed up night," he thought as he watched the librarian and the kid teacher apologize to each other.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF YOUR ROOMS!" Nitta's voice suddenly boomed throughout the hotel. He then ushered Ayaka, Makie, the twins, Ku Fei, Kaede and Kazumi into the hall, with Chamo hanging on to the reporter.

"ALL OF YOU SQUAT UNTIL MORNING!" he roared. "You too, Negi-sensei! Playing with your students like that…" he reprimanded. Now all of them were sitting seiza in the lobby while Nitta went off.

"What were those guys up to…" wondered Asuna aloud.

Then, Setsuna held up some familiar looking papers and asked herself, "Don't tell me it was because of these…"

"Oh! So you gave them to him, eh?" the high priest asked with an annoyed look on his face. The Shinmei-ryuu girl suddenly looked a little bit scared. "Kagurazaka, go back to your room please. I have a few words I need to say to our swordswoman here," he said as his face turned serious.

He immediately grabbed Setsuna by the collar and walked her to the lobby and forced her to sit seiza as well.

"You will be joining them, Sakurazaki," he said with a serious face. Everyone else looked quite puzzled while still in shock.

"But, sensei…" she started to protest.

"Oh, so the papers weren't yours?" he interjected. She then fell silent, staring at the floor.

He huffed for the last time before turning around and marched off to his room. He was craving sleep like never before. Plus, he felt another headache coming on.


Thankfully, he did get up on time for breakfast and it was very filling. Satisfied he was now sitting with Negi, Asuna, Setsuna, Kazumi and Chamo next to a vending machine dressed in his high priest robe.

"What are we going to do about these, Negi!" asked the bell girl as she held up seven cards, "How do you intend to take responsibility for making these cards."

"Aw, c'mon ane-san," quipped the ermine as Negi started looking frantic.

"Yeah, c'mon, Asuna!" said the reporter, "What's wrong with making a little profit on the side?"

"Asakura! You and that pervert Chamo stay out of this!" said girl retorted. The two looked quite sheepish indeed. "Honya-chan is just a normal girl!" she continued saying to Negi, "We can't get her involved in something as complicated as this. We can't do anything about those gift cards that were handed out, but you mustn't use the master cards."

"It would also help you conceal your identity as a mage…" added the swordswoman.

"Huh, that was almost done for when he used those pieces of paper you gave him," the high priest retorted, silencing her. He then took the cards from Asuna and looked through them.

"But, Asuna-san, you're just a normal girl too…" the kid teacher said as he tried to defend himself.

"How can you say that after all that's happened, Negi?" she asked as she poked his forehead.

"How the hell did I get this?" Gamiya asked in surprise as he held up a card with his picture on it.

"EH!" exclaimed the girls and the kid.

"Hmm, I was wondering the same thing, Iroi Sir. Somehow that card appeared before the other mistake cards and the Nodoka card appeared," explained Chamo.

It showed him in his high priest robes slipping a silvery bangle with a whitish gemstone set into it onto his gloved right hand. It displayed a purple colored magic circle in the background. The top of the card had the words Charta Ministralis. The top left and bottom corners of the card had the numerals for the number 13. The top right corner had darkened dot with the words Nigror tonus on it. The bottom left corner had a sign on it with the words astralitas neptunus. Then a list of words started from the legs of his picture. First was his name Iroi Gamiya. Ancipitis Sacerdos was the second, right under his name. Under it was virtus audacia. Then under that was directio occidens. He flipped it over and the first thing that caught his attention made him narrow his eyes; Conoe Conoca.

"Konoe? When the hell did she… oh," he started, then remembering being knocked unconscious.

Setsuna looked livid. "What did you do to ojou-sama…" she growled.

"Calm down, silly girl. I was checking on her last night when someone knocked me out," he explained in retort, "I have no idea who though, and when I came too, I saw five Negi's on the box in your room."

She fell silent, but still glowered in suspicion at him.

"Grr, it must have been Paru. She's always doing weird things," said an annoyed Asuna, "Sounds like she was trying to invent another rumor."

"Huh, anyway, what's the point of these cards other than just to be nice looking," asked the high priest.

"Yeah, all you can do with it is communicate, right?" asked the bell girl.

"Wrong!" exclaimed the ermine, "You can also use your artifact even when Aniki is not around! It will definitely come in handy!"

"Here, take this copy," Chamo said as he passed the card to her, "To bring it out, hold it up and say 'Adeat'!"

"Eh? But that's so…" she muttered as she held it up, "Adeat!"

"Wah, it really appeared!" she exclaimed as the fan from two nights ago appeared in her hand.

Gamiya looked at his card and felt like he had seen the gem before, on a bracelet of some kind. He decided to try and summon it himself.

"Adeat!"

Immediately, the card disappeared and the silvery bangle appeared in his hand. The whitish gemstone was actually… a shard of some kind.

"Wait a minutecould this be really…" he gasped in his head as he examined it further. Some engravings caught his eye on the inside of the bangle, which read 'Fraglantiorus Creationis Gemma'. This confirmed his suspicion.

"Lord have mercyCreation shard in the braceletafter all this time, it would appear here…" he thought nostalgically as he remembered the first ever major quest he ever went through.

"Awesome! It's like magic," Asuna said as she held the fan in awe.

"Use it properly, ok?" the ermine cautioned, "To get rid of it, say 'Abeat'!"

"Wah, this is so cool!" exclaimed the bell girl, partially ignoring the ermine, "It's almost like I'm a mage too!"

Setsuna, still glowering at the high priest, stopped when he had that nostalgic look on his face. She became curious and asked, "What wrong, Iroi-sensei?"

Gamiya shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing. This item takes me back to when I was younger. I had one just like it… pretty useful item."

She nodded, not wanting to pry anymore.

"Abeat!" he chanted, returning it to its card form. He put it in his pants pocket and then turned to the ermine and asked, "Ey, rat. The one I have should be a copy right? Where's the master copy?"

"Ack, rat? I'm an ermine!" Chamo said indignantly as he handed the master copy to him.

"Oh, shut up," he said as he took the card. "I think you better take care of this, Sakurazaki," he said as he handed the master copy to a surprised Setsuna, "You can give it to your ojou-sama if she ever does find out about magic. Just tell her carefully about this. I don't want her freaking out over me, you know?"

"Certainly, sensei," the swordswoman replied as she took it. Soon after, the girls excused themselves to go change for free activity time.

'Hey, Negi. You're supposed to play postman, right? When are you gonna do it?" he then asked the kid teacher.

"Ah, I was planning to go today. With Asuna-san of course," he said with a determined face.

"I see. I guess that leaves me with guard duty with Sakurazaki then," the high priest replied.

"Yes, it does. Well, let's do our best!" Negi said as he got up to leave, since he had to change into more casual clothes.

"I always bring my best," Gamiya replied as he waved the kid off. Gamiya sat there until Group 5 minus Asuna came to see him.

"Iroi-sensei, do you know where is Negi-sensei?" asked Konoka.

"Sorry, I don't. Why do all of you want him, anyway?" he asked. "Well, not bad in sneaking out," he thought, "He could make a good thief."

"Aww, I thought we can… I mean he could accompany us during free activity day," Haruna hastily corrected herself.

"Isn't that Asuna?" Yue asked suddenly, pointing at said girl. She was slowly walking along the side wall, looking over her shoulder before walking out the front entrance.

"Now that girl would make a stupid thief," he thought with dumbfounded look on his face.

"Wait, is she sneaking off with Negi-sensei?" wondered Haruna aloud. "Quick Nodoka, let's go before she comes between you and Negi-kun!" she quickly said as she dragged the librarian girl with her.

"Oh, let's go, Se-chan!" said Konoka as she pulled Setsuna along with her, despite the swordswoman's protests.

"What in the world is going on, Ayase?" he asked the remaining girl as the both of them walked after the other four.

"Um… Nodoka confessed her love to Negi-sensei yesterday…" she explained, a bit reluctantly as she took a few sips from her juice box.

"Ah… I see…" said the high priest with an understanding tone. He followed them following Asuna, who led them to a bridge where Negi was waiting.

"Negi-sensei…." started Haruna.

"Wah!" the kid exclaimed, "Everyone, what cute clothes!"

Then, he started whispering to the bell girl.

"Negi-sensei," Haruna continued, "You were about to go somewhere using that map, right? Take us along!"

"Eh… doesn't Group 5 have plans for free activity time?" he asked.

"Nope," replied Yue.

"Negi-kun, let's take a look around together!" suggested the spectacled girl.

Gamiya held his face in his palm and sighed. He hoped the kid had some way of losing them, though he didn't have much high hopes for that.

"All right! Let's go!" exclaimed Haruna.
