[Forever a Legend]

Here's another wonderful early translation by Jaceryl of AQS forums. Cheers!

We start off in the ruins below the sewer, with Misora talking about the .robots that she saw. However, when they get there, the place seems to be empty. Despite saying that tons of huge robots were in the vicinity not long before, she can't really back it up. And, of course, since she can't remember it too clearly, nobody seems to believe her (would you believe a girl dressed in a cross between a gym uniform and a habit?). Takamichi even asks her to recount the tale, but she's just not that reliable with the lack of information she has. Poor Misora

Takamichi then turns to Asuna, telling her that it's unfortunate, but since the 3rd day will be incredibly busy, he'll have to break his promise to meet with her. (Sad~) HOWEVER, if she has no plans now, how would she like to spend some time together going around the festival?

SHOCK!!

(On a side note, isn't that costume just BITCHIN'? I want an outfit like that... ;_; Granted, first I wish I had curves like that. Damn the limits of the male body. *sigh*)

So Negi and Konoka hear about Asuna's date from Kamo and rush off to find out what's going on. Meanwhile, now back in her regular clothes (oh, how do they afford so many costume changes?), Takane sees fit to bitch Asuna out about the "sexually explicit relations of a student and teacher" being forbidden. Misora, of course, is thrilled with the idea, asking Asuna if she's ready for her big date. Asuna's nervous, worrying about her clothes and such, Misora asking about her hair (and bells).

Mei begins to think that its awesome that Asuna gets to go on a date with with Takamichi. Takane, of course, doesn't see it this way. There's more important things to be done, isn't there? To waste time with trifle love interests is a waste of time. They need to keep the order between the real world and the magic world, becoming selfless and persesrving duty.

Well, that's just the official stance, but...

NO! Apparently it is not just an official stance. Takane knows that she must do everything in her power to keep this balance. Thus is the reason why they are there doing everything they can to gain knowledge. So that, one day, she can become a powerful Magister Magi like the THOUSAND MASTER!!

(... give it a rest, you crazy broad. sleep.gif;; )

"Eeh! Takane-san is also aiming to be a Magister Magi?"

Oh crap! It's the little kid who always seems to pop in at the most opportune moments with the most darling of costumes. Can't we just keep him as a pet? He's so cuuuuuuuuuuute.

Negi is surprised that that Takane knows of his father. According to her, there's not a mage in the world that doesn't know the Thousand Master's name. But just because Negi's his kid doesn't mean she's gonna give him any special treatment!

Asuna sees it appropriate to push that bitch aside and have her own talk with Negi (w00t!), asking him if he's alright, since she heard about him fighting against Colonel and the man using magic to become Negi's father. Negi assures her that he's already fine and thanks her. But... wait, he's already okay, yet she only just heard about it...? !! HOLY CRAP! The brat used the watch! How many times?

"Um, two times... or was it three?"

Asuna is all pissed about the fact that they didn't tell her, and then asks Konoka what happened. She responds by saying they could only imagine such troubling things in the world. The hell does that mean? Kamo says that they can spare the details later, and silently suggets to Negi that they keep quiet about the Yue Pactio thing for now.

Then we turn to Asuna's date once again (aww, she's blushing). Negi says that he'll cheer in secret for her, which she directly opposes. Mei then starts talking about how it's amazing that she'll get to date Takamichi...

What does she mean by that? Well, Takamichi fought alongside Nagi in the Clone Wa--er, Great War. He's kind of a celebrity, you know? If he were to return to his own country, he'd be famed. Negi is confused, asking if his father and companions are so popular. Takane is suprised that being the man's son, he never knew.

The Thousand Master and his comanions were a famous party within the Eternal Wind (AAA) [not too sure on the name, but it seems to be Aralbra]. Their feats gained them recognition throughout all the mage world. They were heroes. At that time, boys and girls wanted to be just like them. Hot damn does Negi have a lot to live up to.

So, Asuna going on a date with him is like, SO TOTALLY AWESOME (I'll agree with Takane here and say Mei is indeed a fad whore). But hey, is all this true, Asuna wonders. Of course! Takamichi was on the front pages of newspapers! (And then Asuna gets all crazy insane "I want that!" on her).

So what is the Magic Country like? Negi's never been, but he's heard it's an awesome place filled with Magicians. Takane says that she lived there when she was young, and it was indeed a great place, with the Magister Magi sitting on the hight summits. Konoka wonders if Takimichi is a Magister Magi.

Takamichi can't use magic, so he doesn't fit the qualifications for being a Magister Magi.

SAY WHA?!

Still, because of his work he's still given a lot of praise (even though Asuna thinks it's still descrimination). Apparently, even now, Takamichi still does work for the AAA. He's always getting himself into all kinds of dangerous situations, thus why he takes time off from school a lot. The truth of the matter is that in the people within the country rank Takamichi's battle capability, suprirsingly, as AA+!! (Who ranks AAA+, you ask? Actually, it's Ronald McDonald.)

Apparently, with power like that, one person could decimate an entire secret evil organization. DAMN. It's kind of hard to believe, but Mei assures them that it's all true. Asuna then starts to realize that she never knew that about Takamichi. She... she really doesn't know anything about him...

You know, for all that stuff, you would think Takamichi gets attack by adoring women all the time, Mei says. Asuna questions this, getting the repsonse that back in the Country, Takamichi is known as pretty sexy. Asuna says that she's never really heard of Takamichi dating anybody, though. According to Mei, he hasn't really had his heart set on anybody.

But what about Shizuna-sensei?! Mei says she hasn't heard rumor of Takamichi being with her. Negi says that Asuna should take care on her date with Takamichi. Perhaps he's really set his heart on Asuna-san! (Oh kid, how you dream...) So she smacks him for that after getting all nervous, and then Konoka tells her there's not much time, so she needs to change. The others will will be cheering for her (even though she clearly forbids them getting involved).


And there you have it! A relatively simple chapter to end book 14. And oh, so many unanswered questions left! Whatever shall we do?! Hopefully we'll find out next time!
