Chapter 18 - Kyoto Arc 9

Negi walked slowly in front of the inn to see the beautiful view of Kyoto. While staying alert watching the situation around him.

"There's nothing suspicious around the inn," Negi said. "I'd better go back to my room, maybe Shirou-Nii, have been waiting for me."

But Negi then stopped because Negi thought of Nodoka love confession.

"Uuuh, I have to immediately answer the love statement from Miyazaki! She must have been waiting for my answer. And it's not good if I made Miyazaki waiting too long for my answer."

Evangeline looks at the television and thinks where Shirou went from the start of the competition. She didnt see Shirou at all. Although Evangeline actually wanted to enter the competition so that she could kiss Shirou, her pride as a vampire who has lived for hundreds of years. Preventing her from participating in the competition, moreover tomorrow at free time, Shirou would be with her all day, so even if she didnt enter the competition it will be no problem at all.

Chachamaru who had been watching her master thinking about something, and she calculating why her master had been looking at TV with a worried face.

"Master is worrying about Shirou-sama," Chachamaru said.

"Shut up Chachamaru! Shirou is currently my Master!So it's natural that I'm worried about his situation! "Evangeline shouted.

"Master is tsundere." Chachamaru said.

"I told you to be quiet, Chachamaru!" Evangeline said, while blushing.

"Chachamaru is playing with Eva-chan," Saber said.

"You also keep quiet Arturia!" Shouted Evangeline.

Ayaka walked in a dark room filled with tables and cushions to look for Negi. Because Negi has dissapeared from his room.

"Negi-Sensei, where are you? Come out!" Ayaka said.

(I saw Negi-Sensei wasn't in his room, where did Sensei actually go?) Ayaka said in her heart.

And from Ayaka behind,one of the Negi-shaped Shikigami approached her and greeted her.

"Class Rep."

And Ayaka looked back.

"Negi-kun, come out wherever you are," Makie said.

Makie walked alone in one of the empty aisles at the Arashiyama inn. Makie parted ways with Yuna, because Yuna prefers to look for Shirou. So they both split up.

"Maybe Negi-kun is embarrassed because a lot of women chase him?"

"Makie."

Makie turned to the left when she heard Negi's voice. But what Makie didn't know was that the voice came from Shikigami.

Elsewhere, Gu Fei and the Narutaki twins were also approached by the remaining Shikigami.

In Shirou and Negi's room.Yue make the unconscious Nodoka laying down on the futon to make her comfortable.

"You just fainted Nodoka, so take a short break here," Said Yue.

When Yue was going to the toilet, Negi suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Ne-Negi-Sensei!" Said Yue.

"Ah, Yue. Why are you in my room? And why is Nodoka-san sleeping on my futon? " Asked Shikigami Negi.

"Negi-Sensei me and Nodoka." Before Yue finished her words Shikigami Negi interrupted her word by saying.

"Actually there are important things I want to discuss with Yue."

"About what?" Asked Yue.

"Can I kiss you?"

Elsewhere simultaneously.

"Class president kiss me!"

"Makie give me a romantic kiss."

"Gu Fei let me give you a blazing kiss."

"Fumika let me touch your beautiful lips using my lips."

All of the Shikigami give a crap seduction to the girl they approach.

Meanwhile in ofuro.

"The bad feeling I felt in the inn is increasing," Said Shirou who was still in ofuro.

(That's why I suggest you to not go out!) Said Archer.

"Uhuhuhu the second person who is aiming for Shirou-senpai's lips has fallen." Sakura said, her whole body filled with negative aura.

Yuna's body fell stiffly on the wooden floor unconscious. Yuna was knocked unconscious by Sakura. When Sakura saw Yuna was wandering on the first floor looking for Shirou, of course Sakura could not just sit there and see her rival in capturing Shirou's lips in front of her eyes. Then just like Chisame who was knocked unconscious by Luvia. Sakura also made Yuna faint by using stun gun that she carry.

"Now, I have to find Shirou-Senpai and kiss his lips!" Said Sakura, who just left Yuna.

Luvia separated from Sakura when she saw that Shirou was not in his room at all, she decided it was better for her to find Shirou alone than to be with Sakura. In order for her to get Shirou's lips just for herself.

"Negi-Sensei suddenly became 5! Plus it was simultaneously asking for a kiss! What are actually happen here?" Kazumi said reporting on the procces of the competition.

"Negi-kun must have done something, why he could split himself into 5 part like that," Rin said.

"Actually, how Aniki split himself into 5 people? I don't remember Aniki having the magic to split himself like that," Camo said.

"Our plan is a bit chaotic because Negi-kun became 5, but no problem!Kazumi continued to report the developments about the competition to the other students who were watching," Rin said. " And Camo you job is helping Kazumi! I have to find out why Negi-kun can split himself."

"Okay!" Said Kazumi and Camo.

In Negi's and Shirou's room, Yue who was cornered by one of the Shikigami Negi at this time, could only feel trembling because she was suddenly invited to kiss.

"Negi-Sensei!dont!" Yue said

"Nodoka yesterday expressed her love for you sensei and suddenly Sensei invited me to kiss?you horrible! "

"It's okay," said the Shikigami. "Right now, Yue. You are the only one in my eyes."

At the same time with Ayaka.

"Class rep," said Shikigami who was with Ayaka.

"Negi-Sensei," said Ayaka.

"No my name is Nugi," said the Shikigami.

"Nugi-Sensei," said Ayaka.

"So may I kiss you now?"

"Aaaaaaah, can you wait a minute? I have to put a make up first if I'm going to do my first kiss with Sensei!" Ayaka said.

In another place with Makie.

"Makie kiss me," Said the Shikigami.

"Aaaaaaah, Negi-kun! Suddenly you became so flirty!" Makie said.

At Gu Fei and Kaede's place.

"Gu Fei, kiss me." Said the Shikigami.

"Aiiyaaa even though I want to kiss Shirou-kun, but suddenly Negi-bouzo want me to kiss him, I became embarrassed aru," Gu Fei said while kicking the Shikigami's face.

At the twins' place.

"Fumika kiss me." Shikigami said.

"Even though we're twins! Why just you the only one who was invited to kissed." Said Fuuka who was trying to hit Fuumika.

"Onee-chan has too many evil deeds, so I the only one Negi-Sensei invited!" Said Fuumika who was holding Fuuka's body from hitting her.

"Which group will come out the winner? Because at this time almost all representatives of each group will be kissed by Negi-Sensei who is either genuine or fake! This is the moment of determination! Who will be the winner? " Said Kazumi who continued her report on the competition.

In Shirou and Negi's room, Yue still felt the strangeness of Negi's behavior.

Shikigami Negi continued to urge Yue to kiss.

(Uuh, what's wrong with Negi-Sensei? Although I'm happy because he wants to kiss me. But Negi-Sensei's behavior is really unnatural!) Yue said in her heart.

When Shikigami Negi lips would touch Yue's lips, Yue looked at the lit TV and watched the broadcast of the competition. And on the TV screen Yue saw, that there were many other Negis.

Yue pushed Shikigami Negi who tried to kiss her then said.

"Negi-Sensei are in other places together?Who you really are!"

Suddenly the Shikigami's hand extended and was about to hold Yue.

"I'm Negi," said the Shikigami.

"Kyaaaa!" Said Nodoka who was shocked to see Shikigami Negi's hand that stretched when she woke up.

When the Shikigami was caught off guard by hearing Nodoka's cry, Yue hit Shikigami Negi's head using the book she always carried.

"Yu-Yue! Why you hit Negi-sensei?" Nodoka asked.

"Take it easy Nodoka! The one I hit was a fake Negi-sensei. " Answered Yue.

"Buum!" The Shikigami exploded and then disappeared.

"What is that?" Said Nodoka.

"See? The Negi-sensei exploded and vanished was proof that he was fake!" Said Yue.

"Yue, look at what emerged from the remnants of the fake Negi-Sensei explosion!" Said Nodoka.

After the explosion vanished, the Shikigami in the form of Negi disappeared and all that was left was a paper Shikigami bearing the name Negi.

"A shikigami used by a Yin Yang experts? Asakura is so outrageous to prepare a things like this as a trap." Said Yue.

The other Shikigami who asked for a kiss on Ayaka, Makie, Gu Fei, and Fumika. Suddenly silence then all the Shikigami ran in the same direction.

Of course the girls who want to kiss Negi, ran after the Shikigami because they were confused why suddenly the Shikigami ran away from them.

In the lobby of the inn on the 1st floor, the four remaining Shikigami gathered at the same time, Ayaka, Makie, Gu Fei, Kaede, Fuuka and Fumika along with Yue and Nodoka all appeared in the lobby as well.

"Eeeeh, there are a lot of Negi-Sensei!" Said Fumika.

"Most likely this is a trap set up by Asakura! All of you must be careful!" Said Yue.

Above the ceiling of group 3 room.

"This is amazing! There are 4 Negi-Sensei gathered in the same place! Which is the original among the 4 Negi-Sensei?" Said Kazumi reporting the development of the competition.

"What a mess." Said Camo.

"Okay, no matter which one! I will just kiss!" Gu Fei said, "Come on Kaede."

"Yup Yup," Said Kaede.

"Ah, Gu Fei! Wait a minute!" Yue said.

Didn't hear Yue's words. Gu Fei and Kaede moved towards one of the Shikigami who were in the lobby. Kaede held the Shikigami chosen by Gu Fei while Gu Fei kissed the cheek of the Shikigami.

"Booooom!"

The shikigami exploded and because of the explosion right in front of Kaede and Gu Fei, the two of them immediately fainted even though their bodies were both very strong.

The explosion caused the remaining 3 Shikigami to split up. As a result the girls chasing the Shikigami also scattered.

"Negi-kun wait!" Said Makie, who was after one of the Shikigami.

Makie, who is a member of the rhythmic gymnastics club, demonstrates one of her skills in rhythmic gymnastics. By pulling the Shikigami she was chased using a ribbons that commonly used in rhythmic gymnastics.

The shikigami was caught, and Makie immediately kissed the cheek of the Shikigami she had caught.

"Negi-kun!" Makie said.

"Boooom!"

Once again the Shikigami exploded and the explosion knocked out Makie.

"Boooom! "

Another Shikigami exploded when the Narutaki twins kissed the Shikigami they were after.

"Uhuhuhu, there have been 3 explosions! It means that what I'm after is the real one!" Ayaka said.

Behind Ayaka, Yue and Nodoka watched Ayaka from afar.

"Ah, Class rep is after the last Negi-Sensei." Said Nodoka.

"Dont worry Nodoka, that one must also be fake," Yue said.

And sure enough when Ayaka kissed the lips of the Shikigami.

"Booooom!"

Yue's words came true.

Above the ceiling of group 3 rooms.

"All the Negi-Sensei are fake!" Said Kazumi. "So, where is the real Negi-Sensei then where is the presence of Shirou-kun who was invisible from the start of the competition? "

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Feeling rather tired due to all the commotion Yue and Nodoka decided to take a short break in the lobby.

(My heart became chaotic cause by Negi-Sensei's imitation! It's really stupid and embarrassing!) Said Yue said in her heart.

"Yue, what's wrong with you?" Asked Nodoka who was confused seeing Yue's face suddenly turned red.

"Haaaah, I'm tired I should go back to my room and sleep." Said Negi who just entering the inn.

Negi walked towards the lobby and saw Yue and Nodoka who were resting.

At the same time, Yue and Nodoka also saw Negi in front of them.

"Ah, Miyazaki," Negi said.

"Ne-Negi-Sensei," Said Nodoka.

"Miyazaki about yesterday afternoon," Negi said. "Sorry but I can't accept your feelings. "

Nodoka felt like her heart was cut when she heard Negi's words, but Nodoka knew because the one who at fault was her. She had to be ready with any answer.

"It's okay Negi-Sensei, I'm quite happy Sensei wants to answer my love statement yesterday," Nodoka said.

"I already have another girl I like, so how about we just be a friends?" Negi asked.

"OK!" Nodoka answered.

Yue did not think that Negi would reject Nodoka, and again Negi said that he already had someone he liked was even more shocking. But Yue would not let all the efforts she and Nodoka end in vain. Nodoka was right in front of Negi. And Negi must walk past Nodoka if Negi wants to walk towards the stairs. Right when Negi is going to walk past Nodoka, Yue pushes Nodoka from behind and Nodoka falls right on Negi. And when they both fall Negi's lips and Nodoka touch each other.

"Sorry Negi-Sensei, I didn't mean it!" Nodoka said.

"It's okay," Negi said with a very red face.

"Asakura-nee! Nodoka-jou-chan managed to kiss the real Aniki!" Camo said, "Rin-Nee's words come true!"

"The first winner of this competition is honya-chan!" Kazumi said. "This is really unexpected! "

After staying for a long time in ofuro, Shirou finally felt he could not stand it. He left the ofuro and decided to return to his room.

"It seems that the inn which had been chaotic, finally calmed down too," Said Shirou. "It looks like it's safe if I go back to my room. "

When Shirou came out of the men's bath, he saw Sakura in front of the bath as if she was waiting for him. And on the floor Shirou saw Luvia being bound and her mouth closed using a duct tape. Shirou felt a very uneasy feeling when he saw Sakura and Luvia.

"Sa-Sakura why are you doing in front of the men's baths?" Shirou asked.

"I'm waiting for you, senpai," Sakura answered.

"Waiting for me," Sid Shirou confused,

"Waiting for me for what?"

"Waiting for you to come out of the bath so I can kiss you right away," Sakura said.

"Kissing?" Said Shirou who was getting confused.

"Yes, to kiss you."

"I know you must be confused senpai why I suddenly want to kiss you.But the explanation can wait." Said Sakura, who pulled out a stun gun from under her shirt.

Sakura fired a stun gun at Shirou and of course Shirou who was careless because he didn't feel any danger immediately fell because of the stun gun attack from Sakura.

(Myself you are really off guard because of Sakura's presence) Said Archer who could only sigh when Shirou fell to the floor because of an attack from Sakura.

"I knocked out Luvia-san using this sweet tool," Sakura said. "And now I make Senpai fell using the same tool."

Those were the last words Shirou heard before he fainted. And at that moment Sakura immediately kissed Shirou's lips.
