Takeo smiled at her, he placed his around her and pulled her in for a hug. "Alright, Se-Chan. But only if you call me, Ta-Kun." Takeo said, smiling at her.

"Alright, Ta-Kun." Setsuna said, with a smile on her face.

Both of them got up and started getting ready for the class trip.

"I'll make breakfast." Setsuna proclaimed, with a smile.

Once they were done making breakfast, both of them started heading towards the train station along with everyone else.

"Alright, if the Kansai Magic Association really is after Konoka-Chan. Then they're probably going to attack while we're on the train." Takeo stated.

"And if they do they'll probably go after the letter in Negi-Sama's position." Shiro added, as he walked next to Takeo.

"Right, Ta-Kun." Setsuna said.

Once they arrived onto the train, Negi was calling out the names of the groups. Shiro immediately jumped onto Takeo's head.

"What group am I missing?" Negi asked himself.

"Negi-Sensei." Setsuna called out, in a monotone. "Oh, you're, No. 15 Setsuna Sakurazaki-San, Zazie-San, and Takeo-San." Negi said.

"I was meant to be the leader of Group 6. But, Evangeline-San and Chachamaru-San are absent. That leaves me, Zazie-San and Ta-Kun." Setsuna responded. "Oh, well. You can join up with a group. Uh, Asuna-San can Setsuna-San join up with your group? Lincho-San can Zazie-San join up with your group?" Negi asked.

Both Asuna and Ayaka agreed. "Hey, Se-Chan." Konoka said, with a bright smile.

Setsuna only bowed nervously and walked away. Leaving Konoka with a sadden look on her face, and Asuna with a confused expression.

"Se-Chan." Konoka said, with a saddened expression.

"Hey, Negi-Kun. Which group am I joining?" Takeo asked, immediately some girl perked up. "Why, do I feel like I should've said that out loud?"

He felt some of the girls staring at him from behind, and a slight cold sensation w

"Is there anyone who can take Takeo-San?!" Negi called out.

Within seconds, Takeo immediately felt several hands pulling in in several directions. He looked and saw it was Chizuru, Chao, Misa, Yue and Yuna.

"Ah, Chizuru-Chan, Chao-Chan, Misa-Chan, Yue-Chan and Yuna-Chan." Takeo called out, as the girls each pulled him in different directions.

"Sorry, girls. But Takeo-Kun is coming with our group." Chizuru said, as she pulled him towards her.

"Sorry, Chizuru-San. But, I have something I'd like to ask Takeo-San." Chao stated, as he was pulled towards her.

"Misa-Chan, Chizuru-Chan. You have Takeo-Kun to yourself all day yesterday." Yuna stated, as she pulled him towards her.

"Yea, but Chizuru-Chan. Hogged him all to herself yesterday." Misa stated.

"I have something I'd like to ask Takeo-San too." Yue added.

"I don't know where to be happy that I'm wanted. Or terrified of having my limbs torn apart." Takeo thought, with a strained expression.

"Actually, girl. The Dean wanted Takeo to be an assistant to Negi-Kun." Shinzuna said, walking towards them.

"Thank You, Shinzuna-Sensei." Takeo thought to himself, with anime tear practically coming from his eyes.

"Aw." All five girls said.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to spend time with you girls later." Takeo said with a smile.

Everyone was getting situated, sitting down in their seats. Everyone started talking about what they're going to do on their Kyoto Trip.

[This is the HIKARI 213 Express to Osaka. We will soon be arriving…Next stop will be Nagoya.]

"All right, everyone! The 15th Annual School Trip is about to begin!" Shinzuna called out. "Please make the most of these five days and nights!"

"There will be lost of free time for the groups, so I think it'll be a fun trip for everyone!" Negi added, with a smile. "But, please try not to get lost, or cause anyone else any trouble! You should take all responsibility for yourselves."

Takeo smiled about how Negi was getting into the whole trip.

"He's really into this trip, Takeo-Sama." Shiro whispered making sure no one heard him. "Yea, I'm sure glad he's…" Takeo added.

At that moment Negi was hit by a chart, and fell on the ground.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" The waitress apologized.

"It's okay." Negi responded, as he started getting up.

Both Takeo and Asuna sweat dropped at that incident, but he laughed to himself.

[Please follow the directions of the waitresses and remain in your seats…]

Takeo stood up and started walking around the train, until he stopped as he saw some of the girls playing a card game.

"Hey, Takeo-San." Yue called out.

"Ah, hey Yue-Chan." Takeo responded, as he waved at everyone.

"Hey, Takeo-Kun. You mind playing with me as soon as I beat Haruna-Chan." Yuna asked, wearing a smile.

"Sure, thing." Takeo answered, with a smile.

"Ah, Takeo-San. You can play?" Negi asked, with a surprised look.

Takeo pulled Negi closer to him, and started whispering something to him.

"Yea, being a Freelancing Mage I had to a lot of odd jobs." Takeo whispered.

At that moment both of them heard the girls screaming, Takeo turned around and saw a large number of frogs around them.

"Frogs?!" Negi called out, with a surprised expression.

"So, they did decide to attack." Takeo said under his breath. "Shiro!"

Shiro jumped from on top of Takeo's head and started chasing after the frogs.

"Negi-Kun. Takeo-Kun, help!" Makie called out.

Both Takeo and Negi nodded at each other, and they started catching all of the frogs. Most of the girls started climbing on Takeo's back.

"We've managed to catch capture 108 of the frogs-aru…" Ku stated, scratching the back of her head.

"Thank God." Takeo added, with a slight sigh.

"S-Shinzuna-Sensei fainted!" Makie called out.

"Get the Health Committee Officer to look after her! Lincho-San, please take an emergency roll call!" Negi commanded. "The health committee officer has fainted!" Asuna responded.

Takeo walked towards Ako and tried waking her, but she wouldn't wake up.

"Asuna-Chan, take Ako-Chan to her seat. I'll carry Shinzuna-San back to her seat." Takeo commanded.

Asuna nodded and started carrying Ako to her seat, while Takeo picked up Shinzuna up bridal style and followed her. As he was carrying Shinzuna, he could hear Negi and Chamo talking about the letter.

"Good they didn't get the letter." Takeo thought, with a slight sigh.

At that moment a fast bird passed by him with the letter in its mouth. "Damn it!" Takeo quickly and carefully placed Shinzuna in her seat and went after the bird.

Negi ran passed him and chased after the bird.

"What's going on Takeo?" Asuna asked.

"Negi and I will explain once we get off this train, but first…" Takeo answered, but was stopped as Ayaka walked towards them.

"Asuna-San, Konoka-San. Setsuna-San, is missing from your group." Ayaka said.

Takeo noticed Setsuna walking back towards them. She nodded towards Takeo and he nodded back. "Ah, Se-Chan where'd you go?" Konoka asked.

"I-I, was taking a walk through the train." Setsuna answered, slightly shyly.

Everyone started calming down after everything that happened, Takeo looked towards Setsuna who was watching out for Konoka.

[We will be arriving in Kyoto shortly…Please ensure that you do not forget anything.]

Around the train everyone started talking to each other, Takeo sighed and got his bag.

"We're finally arriving in Kyoto! We just might be able to find clues about the Thousand Master!" Negi called out, with enthusiasm. Takeo smiled at Negi's desire to find his father.

"I really don't blame him, I'd sure kill to get some information about my dad to." Takeo with a smile.

Once everyone got off of the train, everyone got together for a commemoration photo. Takeo stood next to Shinzuna-San, but was later being pulled into the photo by the other girls. Once they were done, everyone started walking around visiting the attractions.

"Oh, hey Yue-San." Takeo called out.

Yue was standing around with her roommates and friends Haruna and Nodoka.

"Hey, Takeo-San." Yue responded, with her usual deadpanned look.
