Chapter 31: Nadja's test: The World without Matou Sakura:

Hayate: Ojou. Wake up. Ojou.

Nagi opens her eyes as she saw Hayate standing and smiling at her as she is confused.

Nagi: Where am I?

Hayate: Good Morning, Ojou.

Then Nagi looks at Hayate who is smiling at her as he gently wipes her eyes.

Then he carries her as Nagi looks at him as how much he cares about her.

Unaware of her, she is trapped inside Nadja's magical world as Nadja looks on.

Nadja thinks inside: Let's see how you pass this test, Sanzenin Nagi.

Meanwhile, inside Royal Garden, Sakura, who is now transformed into Dark Sakura is standing alongside her grandfather Zouken.

The castle is so big that it has a large flower garden, various rooms and many mysterious areas that Zouken is amazed.

Zouken: Wonderful place! The Kings' Jewel works!

He looks at the King's Jewel as he is holding and then he looks at Sakura who is still in despair as she is still wearing Hayate's Jewel.

She walks inside to the castle alongside her grandfather.

Then the castle gates opens due to the King's Jewel magic as Zouken is interested in it.

Inside the castle, there are various objects are shown including the Altar of Magic, the Magical Gate of Truth and finally the Mirror of the Celestial Sphere.

Zouken: There is no doubt. It's a King Midas' Royal Garden.

Then he looks at the mirror where it shows the images of the present world, including Hayate rushing alongside Yukiji in order to find Sakura and Shirou negotiating with Illya's grandfather alongside Rin for Illya's freedom.

Zouken: Emiya Shirou, Tohsaka Rin, Illyasviel Von Einsbern and Jubstachiet Von Einsbern. What's going on there?

Then he looks at the duel where Shirou kills Jubstachiet as Zouken is shocked. And then Jubstachiet declared something before he died. Though the Mirror of the Celestial Sphere only shows images but not sound as Zouken looks on.

Zouken is disappointed as he thinks inside: I wonder what that golem said before he died. Man! That mirror have no sound!

Zouken looks at Sakura who looks at her former Senpai Shirou and her sister Rin at the mirror but she remains quiet and ignores them and then she looks at her current Senpai Hayate.

Zouken: Sakura?

Then she walks away as she reacts nothing.

Athena: I knew it. You both invaded here.

Both looks at Athena who is serious as she comforts them.

Zouken looks at her carefully as he thinks inside: I have seen her somewhere. Is that Saber? Nope. She have boobs.

Athena looks at him with her cold eyes.

Athena: You wanted to die badly, old worm?

Zouken: Hah! Sakura is going to rule in this world. As I expected from a worthy successor of Matou Heir. My Grandson Shinji was worthless.

Zouken: Don't worry, Sakura. I'm going to deal with her anyways.

But Sakura stands between Zouken and Athena.

Sakura: Grandfather, I'm going to fight against her. She is my opponent.

Zouken: I see. Then do as you wish.

Then Zouken leaves the castle as he looks at both Dark Sakura and Athena facing against each other eye to eye before he disappears.

Athena: You are going to die, Matou Sakura.

Sakura didn't speak but they start fighting.

Meanwhile, Nagi is walking while Hayate accompanies her in the Nadja's world. She is annoyed because he keeps following her.

Nagi: Hayate?

Hayate: What is it, Ojou?

Nagi: Can you stop following me for a while?! It's so annoying!

Hayate: Why Ojou?

Nagi: Because, it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Hayate: *Laughs* Don't worry about that, I'm always yours, Ojou.

Nagi: You are mine?

Hayate: Of course, Ojou. After all, I love you.

Nagi is shocked as she looks at him.

Nagi: What did you just said?

Hayate: I love you, Ojou. You are the only girl who I love.

Nagi: W-W-Wait! What about that stupid large busted idiot?!

Hayate: Maria? That's rude. You shouldn't insult her like that.

Nagi: Wait! I'm not talking about her! I'm talking about Matou Sakura!

Hayate: Matou Sakura? Who is she? I never heard about that name before.

Nagi is shocked and she realized that she is in a different world.

Then Hayate holds her hand and smiles at him.

Hayate: Let's go, Ojou.

Nagi: W-Where?

Then they had a date as the date is long as both Nagi and Hayate smiles at each other.

Meanwhile, inside Royal Garden, Athena summoned multiple swords and attacks Dark Sakura however, despite of her brutal attacks, Sakura managed to survive because of her dark power, much to Athena's horror.

Then she uses her dark ropes and ties Athena, get closer to her and rips off her clothes and destroys the fake jewel. Then she gives her a headbutt and knocks her down unconscious.

Then Dark Sakura summons a malice in order to kill Athena. But she looks at the ring she is wearing as she remembers about Athena was Hayate's childhood love. She put her weapon down.

Sakura: Wrong.

Then Zouken appears.

Zouken: Amazing, Sakura.

Sakura: Grandfather?

Zouken: As I expected from a successor of Matou Heir, you defeated her quickly. I am amazed.

Zouken: Why didn't you kill her? She is a main obstacle between you and Ayasaki.

Sakura: No. I have a plan, grandfather.

Zouken is confused first and then she explains about him about his plan. Zouken makes evil face as he is impressed.

Zouken: I see. I agree with you.

Then he was about to leave, Dark Sakura was about to kill him but she backs down.

Sakura: Where are you going?

Zouken: To Mikado's castle. I wanted to meet Sanzenin Mikado eye to eye.

Sakura: I see.

Then Zouken disappears while Dark Sakura looks at Athena who is still unconscious as she looks at the Mirror as she looks at Hayate.

Sakura: Senpai…

Meanwhile, Hayate and Nagi's date is gone well.

Hayate: That was fun, right Ojou?

Nagi didn't respond as she is thinking about Hayate's love for Sakura.

Hayate: Ojou?

Nagi: A-Ah! N-Nothing. I was thinking about something.

Hayate: What is it, Ojou?

Nagi: Hayate? You still don't remember about that girl?

Hayate: What are you talking about? All I think about is you, Ojou. After all, you love me and I love you.

Nagi becomes sad as she feels guilty as tears coming out from her eyes.

Hayate: Uwaaa! Ojou! What's wrong?! Did anyone made you cry?! I will smash that person's face now!

Nagi realized as she was stubborn while Hayate still panics and worried about her.

Nagi: I'm sorry, Hayate.

Hayate is confused.

Nagi: Hayate, I am so stubborn that all I cared about is myself. I didn't think about others. Thank you for making me realize about myself.

Hayate: Ojou?

Nagi: Hayate, I admit that I love you but I decided to move forward for myself. I'll become independent and I'll find a true love for myself.

Hayate: But how do you manage yourself without me?

Nagi: Don't worry about me, I'll focus on my own goal. I'll think about it by myself. Thank you, Hayate. No. Nadja.

Then Hayate transforms into Nadja as she claps.

Nadja: I'm so impressed, Nagi. You passed the trail.

Nagi staring at Nadja as she is disappointed.

Nagi: Will you please help me?

Nadja: Sure! I'll help you out.

She gives her a hand as both Nagi and Nadja united together and the illusion world disappears.

Meanwhile, Isumi and Kazuki looks sad as Isumi's tears coming out as Kazuki looks at her.

Kazuki: What's wrong, Isumi?

Isumi: Actually, I don't wanted to drag Nagi into danger. Because I'm her childhood friend. I saw her crying when she was young. I don't want her to be hurt.

Kazuki: I see. You love Nagi?

Isumi: Yes. I was also love with Hayate-sama. You already know about that.

Kazuki: Nagi is indeed adorable, right?

Isumi: Yes.

Kazuki: To be honest, when I was lonely, I saw Nagi looking at the balloon. I was fall in love with her but she was love with Hayate. I feel rejected but I wasn't sad.

Isumi looks at him.

Kazuki: Then I met Sakura when she was friendly with me. She is also a nice girl.

But he starts crying as Isumi looks at him.

Kazuki: But when I heard about her tragic fate, I was hurt. Because of my immaturity, she committed a murder. I loved her that's why I wanted to do that.

Kazuki: But I wanted to help her out! I wanted to save her! This time, I'll do my best.

Then he shows Machina's sword as Isumi looks at that sword.

Isumi: Is that? Shirosa-

Kazuki: Saber.

Isumi is confused and thinks inside: He changed the name of that sword.

Kazuki: It's Shirosaber. White Saber. I think that suits a name.

Isumi laughs at him as he looks at her.

Isumi: Kazuki, you are funny as ever.

Kazuki: *Blushes* Y-Yeah. Unfortunately, I won't get Sakura either. Because she is now belongs to Hayate. But I'll find someone else because the world is not small, right?

Isumi looks at him with a blush, admiring him because of his will.

Then she come closer to him and kissed him, surprising him.

Isumi: I love you, Kazuki-sama.

They look at each other as they are blushing. Then they kiss each other.

Nagi: I knew it. You both do suit each other well.

They are surprised as Nagi appeared out of nowhere.

Both Kazuki and Isumi become embarrassed as the latter hugs Nagi with tears.

Isumi: Nagi! Thank goodness!

She looks at her forehead as Nadja's mark.

Isumi: Nagi, is that?

Nagi: I formed a contract with Nadja.

Nadja replies in Nagi's body as both are fused inside one body.

Nadja: Exactly! That girl is light as a feather!

Nagi: Shut up! Stop bothering me!

Nagi argues with Nadja as Kazuki and Isumi are confused as they still look on.

Nadja: By the way, you both are lovebirds, aren't you?

Both Kazuki and Isumi are embarrassed.

Nagi: Anyways, we are going to deal with that idiot.

Nagi summons a light sword as both Isumi and Kazuki are surprised.

Nagi: What are you both waiting for?! Hurry up!

Both Isumi and Kazuki: H-Hai!

Then Nagi alongside Kazuki and Isumi leaves Saginomiya clan together as they decided to hunt down Hinagiku first.
