Chapter 15 - Kyoto Arc 6

Asakura Kazumi feel really shock when she saw the appearance of Emiya Shirou in her class.It was impossible for Kazumi to forget the first man that draw her attention, who only thought of getting photos and journalism .Kazumi was not sure whether Shirou could remember her, because their meeting was practically really short and not long enough.

Kazumi first met with Shirou when she was in first grade of junior high school. At that time Kazumi was on vacation to the house where she used to live when Kazumi still a little kid. Kazumi's house was located in a small town called Fuyuki. Kazumi walked around the city of Fuyuki in search of objects, or beautiful scenery to be photographed by her. In front of a fairly large apartment complex, Kazumi, saw an elderly woman who was having difficulty carrying heavy items.That grandmother's apartment was on the 3rd floor while the elevator in the apartment was being out of service. But, no one wanted to help the grandmother bring her belongings. Seeing that grandmother was in trouble, Kazumi's heart felt moved. And Kazumi directly help that grandma. But the item the grandmother brought was apparently too heavy and Kazumi was unable to carry the grandmother's belongings.

Kazumi was annoyed, because even though she wanted to help the grandmother Kazumi could not do anything because she was not strong enough to help the grandmother. Then that's when Shirou arrived in front of Kazumi and helped the grandmother. The heavy object that the grandmother had, was easily lifted by Shirou, and Shirou brought the heavy object belonging to the grandmother right up to the door of the grandmother's apartment .The grandmother offered Shirou to enter her apartment for a drink but Shirou politely refused and left after saying goodbye. Kazumi, who had seen Shirou's actions earlier, was truly amazed and fascinated by the kindness and selflessness of Shirou.

Kazumi felt her heart beat very fast. And for the first time Asakura Kazumi felt an attraction towards the opposite sex. And Shirou made Kazumi fell in love.

Kazumi felt rather sorry for forgetting to ask Shirou's name when he helped the grandmother. But in the present for Kazumi didn't need to ask Shirou name, because now Shirou is in the same class with her and Kazumi already knows his name because of the self-introduction that Shirou did.

What Kazumi wanted to do right now was how to attract his attention, so that he would recognize her and be interested in her.

On the second day of the Study Tour in the morning. Negi sat in the lobby of the Arashiyama inn while daydreaming, his face looked blank. Making students in his class watch Negi from afar.

"What's wrong with Negi-kun?" Makie said.

"Whatever it is, it seems to affect Negi-sensei so much that Negi-sensei keeps daydreaming like that." Ayaka said.

"Maybe something happened to him yesterday." Yuna said.

Makie and Ayaka then approached Negi and said.

"Negi-sensei, is Sensei having a problem?"

"Negi-kun, did something happen yesterday afternoon at Nara Park?" Makie asked.

"Ah, no, I don't accept love statements or anything." Answered Negi, who answered Makie's question very nervously.

"Eh !? A love statement !?" Said Ayaka in shock.

"Eh !? Is that a truth Negi-kun !?" Said Makie and Yuna.

"Ah,shit!" Negi said in his heart that only realized that he had spoken wrong.

"I-I have something to talk about with Shirou-nii, so see you later!" Negi ran fast avoiding his students Negi run was so fast that he could not be pursued by his students.

"Ah, Negi-kun wait!" Makie said.

"Negi-sensei! Who is the one confessing to you?" Said Ayaka.

Meanwhile Asuna and Setsuna who were watching from a further distance could only sigh at Negi's reaction.

"Negi looks really troubled." Asuna said.

"Maybe Negi-sensei's feelings are in turmoil right now." Said Setsuna.

"Tch, Negi-kun is running too fast it's too late to chased him now. How is this class rep? " Yuna said.

"It seems that one of our classmates has expressed her love to Negi-sensei! We must find out who expressed her love to Negi-Sensei." Ayaka said.

"Yuna! Makie! Calling Asakura here to look for information!looking for info is her specialty!"said Ayaka.

"Okay Class rep!" Said Yuna and Makie.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"What did you say Yuna, there is someone who expressed her love to Negi-Sensei!" Kazumi shouted.

"Right, but no one knows who is the one that expressed her love to Negi-kun." Makie said.

"I thought there was an uproar or something, but it was only a statement of love to Negi-sensei. If you want to tell me to look for information about something, the thing should have been more shocking." Kazumi said.

"But Kazumi-san is direct orders from class rep, you know." Yuna said.

"Uuukh, a troublesome client," Kazumi said. "Well, I will look for the information, I don't want class rep protest to me."

After Yuna and Makie left, Kazumi began to think who among her classmates might have expressed their feelings.

"Hmmm, the one who is most likely to express her feelings is honya-chan. She the only one in my mind would do that." Kazumi said.

Kazumi walked into the room from the group five then knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, is Honya-chan here?" Kazumi said.

Coincidentally, the only one who is in group five room was Nodoka, the target Kazumi was looking for.

"A-Asakura-san,why you looking for me?" Nodoka asked.

"I want to clarify something about the rumors circulating among students in class 3-a." Kazumi replied.

"Rumors?" Said Nodoka confused.

"Someone said there was a student from our class who expressed her love to Negi-sensei, and I suspect that you are the person Honya-chan's. Is that true?" Kazumi asked.

"I-If i asked like that, I can only answer if I'm only honest with my own feelings, that is the truth," replied Nodoka. "That's why I have absolutely no problem if Negi-sensei doesn't reciprocate my feelings. "

"You know honya-chan, you are too kind you know," Kazumi said. "I've got the information I need. Thank you for your cooperation."

Kazumi then left Nodoka alone and walked out of group 5 room.

"Honya-chan's love statement cannot be made news at all. It seems I have to tell class rep with improper information." Kazumi said.

In the empty and quiet corner of the Arashiyama inn. Shirou is testing the extent of Negi's ability to use his magic.

"Now Negi, I want to see how you fly using your wand!" Shirou said.

"Okay, Shirou-nii!" Negi said.

Negi sat down on his wand and then began to float using his stick. About after Negi was 2 meters in the air, Negi then stopped and said. "How about this high Shirou-nii?"

"That's enough," Shirou said. "Now come down."

"So, what does Shirou-nii judge about my abilities?" Negi asked.

"Your energy control is good and stable, it can even be said to be perfect," Shirou answered. "But that is only at the beginning, after that you use too much energy just to keep your stick flying if you are in a battle of life and death you might even be defeated by an enemy whose magic energy is far less than yours. "

"Uuukh, apparently I still need to learn control my magical energy." Negi said, bowing his head.

"I did not think that Aniki's weakness was imperfect energy control for a magic that needed a continuous supply of energy." Camo said.

"It's all because Negi is still inexperienced. We will continue the training after we return to Mahora." Shirou said.

"Okay Shirou-nii! Now I will return to the inn first for breakfast." Negi said as he ran toward the inn's entrance.

Shirou still stood where he folded his arms to his chest then he said.

"Asakura-san, how long will you stand behind that tree.Why don't you come out and say hello to me? "

Kazumi who accidentally saw Shirou and Negi were together behind the inn. Feeling curious about what the two of them would do, Kazumi peeked from a safe distance and Kazumi really felt shocked and shocked when she saw Negi floating in the air using his wand. And Kazumi felt even more shocked, because Shirou could tell that she had been peeking.

"Ah, Emiya-kun, apparently you are aware that I have been peeping." Kazumi said.

"Of course I'm aware," Shirou said. "Because before there was only me and Negi here, until I smell you and fell the aura of your existence. "

"My smell? Emiya-kun, your nose is like a dog's, apparently." Kazumi said.

"I'm tired of hearing those words," Shirou said. "So Asakura-san what you already know from seeing me and Negi earlier. "

Kazumi was nervous hearing Shirou's words but Kazumi made up her mind then answered Shirou's words.

"Negi-sensei had been floating in the air using his wand and Emiya-kun was talking about magic," Kazumi said. "From those words I can conclude that you two are magicians."

"Then," Shirou said. "If you know that. Do you want to spread it?Because I know you are a reporter who likes to spread the truth to the general public. "

"You could say that," Kazumi said. "But I want to ask what happens if I spread the secrets about magic to the general public?"

"I will be left alone because I am not someone who can be called a wizard even though I can use magic energy. But for Negi, he might be cursed as an animal if he is found out as a wizard." Shirou answered.

"Uuuuh that's a bad thing," Kazumi said. "Although the existence of magic is something that would be good news to spread, but if Negi-sensei would be a victim if I spread the word about magic it might be better for me to keep my mouth shut and remain silent this time. "

"You are a good person Asakura-san," Shirou said smiling at Asakura. "It's the same as 2 years ago in Fuyuki when you helped the grandmother to bring her things."

"E-Emiya-kun, d-do you remember about that day!" Said Kazumi, whose face suddenly turned red.

"Of course I remember," Shirou said. "I will never forget about what happen in that day. Because it was quite memorable in my life, the problem is rarely seeing anyone in my age who likes to help people. But frankly I only found out your name when I was in the same class as you. "

"Thank God! Thank God you remember me Emiya-kun! I was really shocked when you appeared in my class! And I'm really worried that you won't remember me when I meet you!"

Kazumi hugged Shirou tightly while crying. The feelings that Kazumi had endured all this time. Finally overflowed out.

Shirou was about to release Kazumi's arms and asked why Kazumi suddenly cried and hugged him. But before he could let go of Kazumi's embrace Shirou can feel a killing intent appeared behind him.

"Shirou didn't you just say you would see what magic abilities from Negi, but now why now you hugging Asakura instead!" Rin came to approach Shirou with an extraordinary killing aura.

"Ri-Rin is not like what you see!" Shirou said.

"Don't talk, you cheater!" Rin said.

"Gandr!" Rin let out a blackish-red magic from her left finger and hit Kazumi and Shirou.

That morning Shirou and Kazumi's bodies became very weak and felt very sick because of Gandr's attack from Rin.The result they both had to stand at the inn all day and skip the second day study tour.
