Negi opened his eyes slowly feeling a tad out of sorts from his harsh training session. Negi looked up at the ceiling as a fan has its blades moving to cool the room. Negi sighed and then began to panic as he remembered he was suppose to be somewhere and not in a strange bed. He turned to see there was no window on his right. The light was on, but the room remained darken. On his left was Chachamaru sitting by his side reading a book.
"Um...Chachamaru-san? Where am I?" asked a groggy professor.
"Oh you are awake professor," smiled Chacha.
"Am I still at Master's resort?" asked Negi.
"Yes you are still at Master's place. She directed me to get you cleaned and to bed for your health," responded Chacha.
"She was worried about me?" asked Negi.
"Well she will not admit it, but she was concerned that she might have pushed you too far," responded Chacha.
"Has it been twenty fours hours so I can leave? Have stuff to do," asked Negi.
"No you slept for nine hours, but it is not that time yet," responded Chacha.
Negi slowly got up as Chacha watched concerned.
Negi slipped out of bed not noticing he was completely naked standing in front of Chacha. Negi felt a little breeze as Eva walked into the room.
"Aye boya seems to be 'up'," snickered Eva.
Negi quickly turned around and grabbed the bed sheet to cover himself with. Chacha just sat there looking at Eva grinning.
"Sorry Master," said a blushing Negi.
"You are definitely still a kid, but with potential someday," laughed Eva.
"Thank you for taking care of me," said Negi.
"I was not the one who took care of you," pointed Eva toward Chacha.
"Sorry! Thank you Chachamaru-san for taking care of me," said Negi.
Chachamaru blushed and responded, "You are welcome professor."
Eva looked over at Chachamaru and rolled her eyes.
"Go and take another bath and get dress. I need to talk with you before you leave," said Eva as she sneezed afterward.
"Your allergies?" asked Chachamaru.
"Apparently," said Eva as she sneezed again.
Eva left as her sneezing kept going down the hallway.
Chachamaru said, "Well professor I will guide you to the bath."
Negi tried to take a step but was so weak that he fell right into Chacha's arms.
"Oh sorry for that," said Negi.
"No professor do not be. Looks like you will need help in the bath," responded Chacha.
"I...," said Negi but knew it was futile to argue.
Negi leaned on Chacha as they made their way to the bath.
Eva allergies returned in a fury as she laid on her bed. She drifted off to sleep as she was starting to have a dream. She tended to tell people who have asked that she never dreams because it is useless to an undead as she is. The only dream she tends to have is about Negi's father and her
Eva dreamt of a mature Negi standing in front of her with red roses as Eva was in her magical mature state that sort of matched Negi's age in her dream. She took the roses and Negi leaned in to kiss her without her agreeing to it. It was a soft kiss. He then took her to her bed and she laid on it with him on top as they kissed. "NO!", yelled Eva.
Eva woke up sweating, "That damn kid will be the ruin of me."
One of chacha's robotic sisters came into Eva's bedroom to check up, "Are you alright Master?"
"Besides the sneezing yes," responded the vampire blond girl.
"Heard a noise in here so I came to check," said Chacha's sister.
"It was just a dream. Nothing more," said Eva as she sneezed.
"Your allergies getting worse today?" asked the sister.
"Yes!" said a mad vampire.
"Alright will get your medicine as make sure you are comfortable as possible Master," said the sister.
"Fine now go," said Eva as she began to get changed in front of a mirror.
"I will," as the robotic girl as she left.
Eva looked at her immature body and sighed. She looked so hot in her magical mature body with big boobs and long legs. Any man would desire her and would worship the ground she walks. But that damn Nagi sealed away some of her magic.
"Negi, um...what the hell am I thinking. He is just a kid who hasn't even reached puberity yet. But, does he know how to kiss," said Eva touching her bottom lip.
It started to rain pretty hard as Nodoka was walking under her umbrella as she saw people scurrying to buildings since they did not have any protection from the rain. Nodoka's destination was to meet up with Yue and Haruna to train in their magical studies. She is still not ready to see Negi so she hoped he will be not there.
Nodoka pressed on the doorbell and it chimed. The front door opened as one of Chacha's sisters opened it. Nodoka smiled and walked inside as Yue and Haruna were in the resort according to Chacha's sister.
Nodoka appeared within the magical resort and went to put her stuff away when she saw a figure just coming out of a room. She crept a little closer and saw it was Negi in just a towel above his waist. He was definitely still a kid but he looked so adorable she wanted to rush into his arms. Then to her amazement another taller figure appeared behind Negi. It was Chacha wearing just a towel above her breast.
"What was going on? Did they do something adult like? Did I just lose him to a robot?" asked Nodoka to herself.
"Do not rush to judgement. Serious you think Negi would do something like what you were thinking? She is a robot granted but she does have the right parts thanks to Chao-san and Satomi-san," responded Nodoka's infamous inner voice.
"But its just that...," said Nodoka to herself.
"You wish you were Chacha-san right now," replied her inner voice.
"No...yeah...no that is not it," blushed Nodoka.
"Nodoka-san are you ready to train or what," yelled Yue behind her.
Nodoka turned and a tear ran down her cheek as she went to train.
At that very moment when Nodoka headed toward Yue and Haruna, Negi thought he spotted a shadow down the hallway walking away. He shrugged and rubbed his eyes.
"Sorry that you had to help Chacha-san," said Negi.
"It was my pleasure," blushed Chacha as she held him against her chest.
"Are you getting overheated? Maybe you should let Master know so you can go see Satomi-san.
"No I am fine. There is no overheating at the moment," responded Chacha as her gears were racing because she was that close to Negi in the bath.
"Well I suppose that I should get dress and head over toward Master's room for the talk," said Negi as he went to the same room as he was lying in to get dress.
Chacha just watched as she smiled softly said, "Could someone like me, a robot, fall in love with a human?"
Chacha turned and went toward her room to get dress herself before seeing if her Master desires anything.
"So what took you so long getting out here with us?" asked Haruna.
"Nothing!" responded Nodoka as she tried to concentrate on what she was doing but being unsuccessful due to her imagery of Chacha and Negi in those towels.
"Um Nodoka-san be more careful," said Yue as she ducked from a flying book.
"Oh sorry Yue-san," sighed Nodoka.
"What has got into you girl? This is not like you being all upset all of the sudden," said Yue.
"It probably has to do with Negi as always," chirped Haruna.
"Everything is going all wrong. I am trying my best with him, but apparently it is not good enough," sniffed the bookworm.
"What does that mean?" asked Haruna.
"Probably means that Negi did something that has upset her without him ever knowing what he did," said Yue.
"Well how was your date with the professor," asked Nodoka.
Yue looked shocked at the question that came out of nowhere it seemed to her.
"What do you mean?" asked the chibi philosopher.
"I saw you two leaving Library Island as I overheard him ask you to lunch," said Nodoka.
"First, it was not a date. Second, I did not want to go but he looked so down. And lastly, I would have preferred if you were with him," said Yue.
"That is a lie. You still also love him. Never forget that," responded Nodoka.
"Calm down Nodoka-san. This is not like you at all," said Haruna.
"Paru cram it. This is between Yue-san and I," replied Nodoka harshly.
"Yes I do still, but you are the one that is spending a lot of time with him," replied Yue.
"You still have not answered my question," said Nodoka furious.
"It was the typical student/teacher talk at the cafeteria. We saw our former teacher and Negi's adviser. Also ran into Ayaka-san and Makie-san," said Yue.
"So you had the opportunity to confess and you did not," chimed Haruna.
"No Paru-san I did not confess. He asked me about my training and how it is going," replied Yue.
"Sure!" said Nodoka.
"There was nothing more then what it was," replied Yue.
"There is something more then just the alleged date you are upset about," said Haruna to Nodoka.
Nodoka looked down at the ground, "I might have seen something in the hallway but I cannot be certain if what I saw can be true."
"What did you see in the hallway?" asked Yue.
"Negi and Chacha in just towels," replied Nodoka.
"How far down the hallway were they?" asked Yue.
"Oh you think they did adult things?" asked Haruna.
Nodoka and Yue both blushed.
"They came out of a room far down the hallway," said Nodoka.
"Is that where the baths are?" asked Haruna.
"Um the baths?" asked Nodoka.
"Yeah that is where the bath would be about," replied Yue.
"You think they did something adult like and then took a bath together?" asked a smiling Haruna.
"No Paru-san I doubt Negi-sensei would be like that," replied Yue.
"But Yue-san you did not see Chacha-san holding him against her," said Nodoka.
"There probably is an innocent answer to why they were in the baths. Just ask him," said Yue.
"But I cannot do that. They did not see me seeing them," said Nodoka.
"Then you should not worry about it," said Yue.
Nodoka sighed and went back to her training. Yue and Haruna looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders as they went back to their training.
Negi taps softly on Eva's bedroom door.
"Come on in boya," said Eva coarsely.
Negi opened the door just to see Eva in a tiny negligee laying on top of her bed. Negi was turning red at seeing Eva dressed like that.
"My boy have you never saw a girl wear such things to bed?" smirked Eva.
"No...it is just...I am sorry I will leave and you may change," responded Negi as he closed his eyes and started to go out of the room.
"Boya what are you doing? Did I tell you to leave? I am already changed," said Eva.
"No you did not tell me to leave Master, but as a gentleman I shall take my leave until you can get dressed in proper clothes," responded Eva's disciple.
"You are definitely still a kid. Any boy would salivate at seeing a cute girl dress like this on a bed. Come here and sit beside me," ordered Eva.
Negi hesitated for a second but walked over toward the bed and sat. Eva pulled at Negi's arm and bit into it sucking some blood.
"Your blood still taste wonderful," said Eva as she wiped away a little droplet of blood from her lip.
Negi did not say a word. He is too focus on keeping his head forward to not look at Eva.
Eva blew into Negi's ear and whispered something that made Negi blushed.
All of the sudden Eva began to sneeze violently and she yelled, "NOT YET."
Eva was shaking and started to burn up from all her allergies. Negi tucked her in bed and tried to heal her a little. Chachamaru came racing in with some medicine as Eva took the medicine.
"What happen professor?" asked Chacha.
"We were talking and she began to sneeze violently," said Negi.
"She was sneezing earlier today," said Chacha.
"I hate being just a regular human," said Eva.
"Yes, but you are cute when you seem vulnerable," said Negi.
Eva blushed and said, "That is exactly why I hate being just a human."
"You should get some rest. I will take my leave," said Negi.
"Hmpf!" sneezed Eva.
Negi and Chacha left Eva's bedroom and headed outside where the trio of Negi's magical partners were practicing their magic.
Negi and Chacha watched the three girls do their newer magic that they were taught. Haruna was drawing better drawings that were lasting longer. Nodoka was mastering her pactio and Yue was reading a magic spell from her book.
"Hey girls how are you doing?" asked Negi.
"Oh there is Negi," said Haruna.
"Hello Nodoka-san," said Negi.
Nodoka was not looking at Negi and walked right into him as they collided as he fell on top of her.
"Gee should you two get a room and not do that out here," smiled Haruna.
Nodoka blushed as Negi got off of her quickly.
"My apologizes Nodoka-san. Been doing that a lot lately," said Negi.
"Been doing what lately?" asked Yue.
"Apologizing," responded Negi.
"He does not have to," said Nodoka.
"Why?" said Negi.
"Because we are just friends and nothing more then that," said Nodoka sternly.
Negi was taken a back from the harsh realization that Nodoka seems more emotional then usual.
"Well are you three done for today? Do you want something to drink?" asked Chacha.
"Done for now I guess. Yes tea would be nice for me and Nodoka-san. Yue will probably find a mix juice drink or something," said Haruna.
"I do not want anything thank you," said Nodoka looking hatefully at Chacha.
"Nodoka-san do you have something to say?" asked Chacha.
"Um...yes. Negi-sensei, why did you go out with Yue-san for lunch? And upon arriving here I saw you and Chacha in the hallway just wearing towels," said Nodoka as she was shaking out of fear.
"You do not have to say anything professor." said Yue.
"Nodoka-san, I was going to ask you to come with me for that lunch. Yue agreed after some convincing to go with me to keep me company that was my intention. As far as today in the hallway, I had a brutal training session with Master. I passed out and was carried by Chacha to a room where she kept watch. I awoke still wobberly and Chacha was kind enough to help me bath," said Negi.
"That is definately what a ten year old would say," said Haruna softly.
Nodoka just stood there in a daze. "So there was nothing going on between Chacha-san and Negi-sensei. And it was just so that Negi-sensei would not eat alone at lunch. Am I stupid and jealous for no reason since he is not my boyfriend," said Nodoka to herself.
Nodoka dove at Negi with her arms wide open to hug him.
"I am sorry professor for acting this way," said Nodoka.
"You do not have to say sorry to me. You did not do anything wrong," said Negi.
"See Nodoka-san, nothing to worry about," said Yue.
Nodoka whispered to Yue about how sorry she was.
"Um girls? Should you be practicing rather then talking. The trip is sooner rather then later," said Eva still wearing the negligee.
"All right Eva-chan. Wearing that definitely would get you a boy," smiled Haruna.
"Not that it matters, but I wore it for boya over there," smiled Eva.
"You what?" asked Yue.
"Come on now. He is a growing boy who has 31 girls in his class. Which some (looking at Nodoka) like or love this kid. They can see his potential not just as a mage, but as a man. That is what is attracting the girls to him. If nobody steps up to the plate as an american saying goes. Then why not try to be the first," smiled Eva.
"But Nodoka-san confessed to him. Should she be the first to try?" said Yue.
"You are so naive. Nodoka-san tried her best to attract him and what did it get her? A friendship for now. But by the time he may be ready to know what love is, someone will already have taken him away from her," said Eva.
"I have not done much. I like to spend time with him. I truly think he is and will be a wonderful man," said Nodoka meekly.
"You are right that you have not done much. A pactio kiss that was an accident caused by a trip. And the other kiss was at the Mahora Festival under the fireworks. Other then that you have not begun to understand him at all because of your delusional views of how manly he is," said Eva.
"That is a little harsh Eva-chan," said Haruna.
"Truth hurts," said Eva as she sneezed violently as she almost passed out.
Chacha directed her to a chair where Eva sat.
"Boya? You have not said a word," said Eva.
"Master, it just that I really do not know what is going on," said Negi.
"Oh come on boya. Nodoka-san wants you. Some of your students want you. I and a couple others may desire to just flirt with you to make you uncomfortable. And some desire just to have you as a friend like Yue-san," winked Eva to Yue.
"But I am a teacher and they are my students," said Negi.
Eva rolled her eyes, "Yes, but you are a young, intelligent, handsome, boy who charmed the girls with all that is you. Take Miss Miyazaki-san, who was deathly afraid of men, who fell in love with you as she had the courage to tell you that. Despite her being older, she still has hope one day that you will find it in your heart to love her the way she loves you."
"We all know about Nodoka-san," said Haruna.
"The point is. Boya needs to focus more on other things then his job and his father because he might miss out what is important in life," said Eva.
Nodoka was dumbfounded as she could not think of anything to say. Haruna simply smiled as Yue looked concerned.
"Master I think you need to get inside and rest," said Negi as he tried to change the subject.
"Alright," as Eva got up from chair and started to walk. She took a few steps and began to sneeze violently as she was about to pass out until Negi caught her in his arms.
He carried her into her bedroom as Chacha took the duty of watching over her.
"He is sure strong for a kid," said Haruna.
"Yes he is!" smiled Nodoka.
