Chapter 255 - Ostia Festival 11

"Thank goodness! Thank goodness you two are okay!" Ako said while hugging Yuuna and Makie. "I'm scared, I'm really scared that something bad will happen to you two."

"Ako was right," Akira said with tears running down her cheeks while hugging Yuuna and Makie. "I'm really thankful you two are okay and didn't have to feel a bad experience."

"We were both lucky, because we were thrown into a city with good people," Makie said who was happy to meet Ako and Akira again. "And in that city, we work hard every day to raise travel capital to be able to meet Negi-kun and the others."

"Well, and in that city we learned a lot of things including magic," Yuuna said while wiping the tears down her cheeks. "Even Makie's brain that used to be a bit dull is now calming down a bit and getting better."

"Hey! Don't make fun of me like that!" Makie shouted with a flushed face. "How would I know that the numbness in my brain had something to do with the injury to my head when I fell in rhythmic gymnastics practice."

"So Makie's stupidity was caused by an injury to her head?" Ako said surprised. "No wonder sometimes Makie having a trouble when having a conversation with someone."

"The reason for Makie's stupidity, is quite reasonable considering that Makie is the dumbest girl in all of Mahora Gakuen," Akira said.

"Yeah, the aunt in town is a very good magician, she can find injuries to my head that can't be detected by normal means," Makie said. "Our coming to Mundus Magicus can actually produce positive things for me!"

"Since we've all met and had a reunion, how about we throw a party to celebrate this reunion!" Yuuna said with very sparkling eyes. Yuuna's own exuberant nature relapses, if she feels too excited. "Only by throwing a new party can I feel that the reunion between the four of us is legitimate!"

"Good idea Yuuna!" Makie shouted excitedly. "This reunion really needs to be celebrated with a feast!"

"Eh, I don't think that's a good idea, Makie-san, Yuuna-san," Shirou said who didn't want to be embarrassed by the stupidity that Yuuna and Makie would show. "Firstly we're not in Mahora right now, and secondly you're not middle-aged office workers who are always happy to have the urge to have debauchery, please act more like a typical teenage girl."

Shirou's words made Yuuna and Makie's faces turn bright red. All this time, the two of them didn't realize that the uproar that they often made together with their friends in Class 3-a was a very embarrassing thing. And it was only now that they both realized it.

"Alexander-kun's words are true, you know," Akira said with a faint smile on her face. "You two need to stop being so self-absorbed and acting like drunk uncles."

"Is it that embarrassing for both of us when we get excited?" Yuuna asked still with a red face.

"Yup," Ako replied while holding back her amusement because she saw Yuuna and Makie who just realized that they had been acting stupid when they were too excited. "But you two don't need to worry, because eighty percent of the students in our class are as excited as you two are."

Yuuna and Makie were taken by Ako and Akira to Emiya's residence, which was arguably the safest place in Ostia. Due to the large number of Bounded Fields installed in that place, Shirou meanwhile decided to go to the place where one of the leaders of Cosmo Entelecheia was.

Because he could sense that Fate Averruncus had been emitting a continuous killing aura that was specifically directed at Negi. Shirou knows that the current Negi, is still unable to fight Fate and because Negi is a reckless person. Negi would definitely go head-to-head against Fate Averruncus without hesitation. Shirou doesn't know why Fate is trying to lure Negi like that but Shirou will never let Negi be in danger, that's why at this time Shirou's red hair has turned long black, he wears yellow glasses and Shirou's red fedora for the second time wearing. Alucard's full form, only he wasn't wearing Alucard's Victorian coat and clothes, but a red suit with a black tie and a modern, blood-red coat.

After he changed his form to Alucard's form, Shirou entered into his own shadow and disappeared from the alley where he changed his form.

If he left by running or using quick moves Shirou felt that he wouldn't be able to save Negi. Then Shadow Moves is the most suitable solution so that he can arrive in time to save Negi.

At the Emiya Residence, Clone Nagi was already preparing to go and save Negi once he felt the same way as Shirou. But unfortunately he can't go because Evangeline is currently in a critical condition, due to her body undergoing drastic changes, a change that makes Clone Nagi surprised because Evangeline has turned into his wife and Negi's mother, Arika.

***

Currently Negi is walking alone in the middle of Ostia city, thinking about many things. While Rakan and Shirou were chatting the day before, he accidentally overheard what the two of them were chatting about. And Negi's mind became jumbled because of the heavy things Shirou and Rakan were talking about.

Even though Negi could only understand a little, what they were talking about. But at least he understood what the point was, from the conversation the two of them had. The friends and members of Ala Rubra did manage to save the world, but in exchange there was a heavy price they had to pay for the safety of many people. That is the destruction of the oldest kingdom in Mundus Magicus, Ostia.

The kingdom where his mother was born, the kingdom he should have inherited had it not been destroyed. Negi doesn't know much about his mother in detail, because Nagi's father and even Rakan refuse to tell what they know about Arika. So Negi only knew a few things about his mother from the history books he read.

Negi doesn't know why Nagi and Rakan refuse to tell about Arika. But Negi really didn't want to force the two of them to tell him what they knew about Arika because he knew it was pointless. And after all Negi was sure he would find out sooner or later, all he needed to do was wait.

But all the thoughts he was doing changed and disappeared, when he felt a great killing intent directed at him. The lust for killing was so strong, that Negi felt suffocated because he couldn't stand the pressure from the intent.

.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Negi's heart was beating very fast, and he was having trouble breathing. That lust for killing really made him torment, Negi had never felt what he was currently experiencing. Feeling the killing intent of someone was a whole new experience for an amateur fighter in the Moonlite world like himself.

And right now, Negi could see the source of the murderous desire directed at him. Because right now Fate Averruncus with an emotionless face was standing opposite him while putting his hands in his pants pockets. When Negi looked at him the murderous lust he felt slightly disappeared.

And Negi was able to breathe normally again, but right now his body still felt heavy and sweat was pouring down his body profusely. Negi realized that right now, Fate wanted to do something about him. But since Fate's power level was way above him he couldn't do anything at all right now.

"Negi Springfield there is something important that I want to talk to you," Fate said. "So now you have to come with me, and I hope you don't try to resist or try to run away and fight me, because you are not my opponent at all."

Negi really didn't like it when other people insulted him like that, but he couldn't reply to Fate at all because everything Fate told him was true.

"I don't want anything to do with you Fate Averruncus," Negi said with a serious face. "And don't expect me to go with you too, because I know you have bad intentions by try to talk to me."
