"Eishun-dono this is the letter from the principal for you." Negi said.
"You must be have had a hard time when you came here to sent the letter," Eishun said.
"Please tell to my father-in-law that my side here also trying to resolve the dispute between East and West," Eishun said. "You have done a very good job, Negi-kun."
"Yeah! I dit it!" Negi said.
"Even though I don't understand the meaning of the conversation between you and Konoka father, Negi-Sensei," Kazumi said. "But, I'm glad you finish your job with succes Sensei!"
"If you return to the inn right now, you will only arrive at the inn in the midnight," Eishun said. "I have contact your teacher named Fujimura Taiga and I told her that all of you will stay here tonight, I have also prepared a party to entertain all of you. "
"Yeaaah!" Kazumi and Haruna said.
"You two stop that!" Asuna said. "Both of you behave like a little kid."
"Negi-kun and Shirou-kun can the two of you come with me for a while," Eishun said, "I have something to discuss with you two in private."
"Ah, okay." Shirou and Negi said.
Shirou and Negi walked after Eishun who took the two of them to another room,while the girls are being entertained by servants who bring food.

Eishun brought Shirou and Negi into a large room. In that room there were only two sofas and a table that was quite luxurious.
"Shirou-kun, Negi-kun please have a sit,"
Eishun said. "This room is where I used to receive a guests. "
Shirou and Negi then sat on the same sofa, while Eishun sat on the sofa opposite the sofa where they both sat.
"So, Eishun-dono," Shirou said. "What you want to discuss with me and Negi?"
"First of all," Eishun said. "I want to apologize to both of you for the attack from Chigusa Amgasaki during the Study Tour."
"Ah, no," Negi said.
"You don't need to apologize Eishun-dono," Shirou said.
"I'm sure that idiot girl Chigusa attacked us not on your orders but by her own volition. "
"Chigusa has always been very unhappy with the East," said Eishun. "Right now my men are looking for her to catch and bring her here."
"Then what is the true purpose of Chigusa?" Shirou asked. "Why does she keep trying to kidnap Konoka-san."
"That's right," Negi said, "I want to know the reaMaster
"Chigusa has a deep grudge against a mage from Europe and the Kanto Wizard Association," Eishun replied. "And her reason that she keep trying to kidnap my daughter, it's because my daughter was a secret weapon for both Kanto and Kansai magic association."
"Secret Weapon?" Negi and Shirou said.
"Are you two realize that my daughter Konoka have an enormous amount of magical energy?" Eishun said.
"Yeah, I realize it," Negi said. "The magical energy that I feel from Konoka-san is really enormous!"
"As Negi said, I also felt enormous magical energy when I first met Konoka-san," Shirou said.
"My daughter Konoka inherited enormous magical power from the blood of her mother's family," Eishun said. "And because of that power many people from hardliners in the West and East who want to using that power for selfish reason, Konoka magical energy even surpassed Thousand Master both of your father."
"You know, our father are Thousand Masters?" Shirou asked.
"Of course I know ," Eishun answered. "That idiot Nagi was my best friend, and Negi-kun existence as a son of Thousand Masters is not a secret so everybody in magic society know him, while the matter of Shirou-kun who is the first son of Thousand Master is really unknown. I only found out it after my father-in-law called me on the phone and told me about the identity of Shirou-kun. "
"Honestly, I was really surprised after find out that the first son of Nagi is not Negi-kun, but Shirou-kun instead," said Eishun. "Your existence really are a surprised Shirou-kun and if the news of your existence spread out to the magical world, I don't know what will happen."
"My adoptive father or rather my uncle also said the same thing," Shirou said. "So for now I don't want anyone in the magical world know that I am the first son of Thousand Master."
"Shirou-ni's burden seems bigger than mine," Negi said.
"That was natural Negi-kun," said Eishun. "The entire magic world knows about your existence and identity as the legitimate son of Thousand Masters, while the existence of Shirou-kun as the first son of Thousand Masters is a matter that has remained a secret until now. "
"Let's end this conversation now, how about the two of you return to the main hall to eat the dinner with other guests," Eishun said, "I'm sure you are hungry too."
"Ah, that's right," Negi said, "I haven't eaten anything besides a breakfast this morning."
"Same with me," Shirou said. "During a date with Evangeline I didn't get anything to eat either. "
"Then let go to the main hall," said Eishun. "Incidentally I also want to have a chat with my daughter and ask how about her life in Mahora."
"Okay!" Negi and Shirou said.

In the room where Evangeline stayed right after parties and meals.
"So, Evangeline-san, how about Camo condition?" Negi asked. "I'm really confused because since entering the main area of the Genbi Temple he immediately fell asleep and didn't wake up at all making me really worry! "
Evangeline holds the card that seals Camo and examines it quite seriously.
"He have overdose of magic energyin his body and it quite severe," Evangeline said. "Did you ask Shirou to do a structural analysis on this pervert Ferret?"
"Yes," Negi answered. "Shirou-nii said the same thing. About Camo's body had an overdose of magical energy that force him to a sleep so that his body could digest the magic energy slowly and safely but Shirou-nii could not analyze why Camo could experience an overdose of magical energy, so Shirou-nii advised me to ask you."
""Haaaaah," Evangeline said, "I know the cause."
"Really!" Negi shouted, "What, what is the cause?"
"The card that seals the pervert Ferret requires constant magic energy to keep the seal stable," Evangeline said. "So on that card there is a special magic circle that can absorb the magic energy in the air to supply magic energy to the seal on the card. "
"Evangeline-san, I already know all that," Negi said. "Irisivel-san has explained it to me."
"Haaaah, I don't know if you are actually a genius or stupid," said Evangeline. "Can you feel there is something different when you enter the main area of this temple?"
"The magical energy in this temple is several times higher more than outside world," After saying that Negi paused for a moment to realize something from his own words then he spoke again.
"Aaaah! That is the cause!"
"Are you aware of the cause of now boy?" Asked Evangeline.
"Because the magic energy inside this temple is far greater than the outside world, the magic energy absorbed by the card that seals Camo also becomes far more so the rest of the unused magic energy in the magic seal flows into Camo's body and causes his body to overdose on magic energy." Negi answered.
"Long enough for you to realize it, boy," Evangeline said.
"Then what should I do Evangeline-san?" Negi asked.
"He will be okay," Evangeline answered. "He will wake up from his sleep if you take him out of this temple area."
"Fuuuh," Negi said. "Then I don't need to worry about Camo. Evangeline-san, thank you very much for your help. "
"Never mind, and dont thank me," Evangeline said. "Now go away! I'm already sleepy and want to sleep so don't bother me anymore!"
"OK!" Negi said, lowering his body toward Evangeline and then out of the room.
"Haaaah, that boy is really troublesome," Evangeline said.
After helping Negi to checking Camo, Evangeline decided to go to sleep because she felt really sleepy but when she was going to sleep,
"This magical energy," Evangeline said. "There is someone who is very dangerous outside the main area of the Genbi temple."
Evangeline did not go to sleep and left her room.
"It looks like this night will be an interesting night," Evangeline said with a smile.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
On top of a large tree outside the main area of the Genbi temple, Amagasaki Chigusa and the white-haired young man who saved her were standing looking at the main area of the Genbi temple.
"Ckkk!" Said Chigusa. " Konoka-sama and her friends have entered the main temple, at this rate it will be difficult to kidnap Konoka-sama! "
"Take it easy," said the white-haired youth. "leave it all to me."

In one of the Corridors in the Genbi Temple. Asuna and Konoka were just about to return to their room after walking around looking at Sakura for a long time.
"Sakura at night is very pretty, huh." Konoka said.
"Yeah, because in this temple Sakura blooms longer," Asuna said.
"We better get back quickly," Konoka said. "Setsuna-chan and the others must be waiting for us. "
"Setsuna-san might be waiting for us," Asuna said, "But Haruna and Asakura are at most playing without caring whether we come back or not."
"Aah, your words are indeed correct," Konoka said.
When the two of them in one of the corridor, Asuna's forehead touched something hard and hence Asuna cried out in pain. "Ouch!"
Asuna looked at the object that touched her and then what she saw was a stone statue or rather a room filled with stone miko-shaped statues that had welcomed Konoka.
"Eh," said Asuna, "What there a statue here?"
Asuna was shocked and horrified because there were so many stone miko-shaped statues in the room, and all of them really looked very alive.
"A stone statue?" Said Konoka who was as shocked as Asuna. "Is there a statue like this in the Genbi temple?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
At the same time as Negi, Shirou and Rin.
"Huuf, luckily Camo is okay," Negi said, "This way I can feel calm."
Negi walked casually and slowly to return to his room and sleep. Arriving at a corner he bumped into Rin who was running fast along with Shirou following behind.
"Ouch!" Negi said grimacing in pain.
"Aaauuw!" Rin said. "That hurts!"
"Rin, calm down a little will you," Shirou said. "The one who bumped into you was Negi."
"Shirou-nii and Rin-nee why are you two running around in the corridor like that?" Negi asked.
"The enemy is attacking," Shirou answered. "I had felt the presence of the enemy a while ago, so Rin and I came out of our room to find out what was happening."
"Enemy?" Negi said. "But who?"
"Most likely the white-haired young man who saved Chigusa," Rin replied. "Only he has the possibility to penetrate the bounded fields installed around the main area of this temple."
"Kyaaaaaa!"
a very loud scream came from one of the rooms near where Rin and Negi collided.
"Shi-Shirou that screams." Rin said, her face suddenly turned pale.
"That's was Sakura," Shirou said with cold sweat running from his forehead. "And the scream came from the room where Asakura and the others were playing."
"Let's go there!" Negi said that cold sweat on his forehead was the same as Shirou's.
The three of them ran fast ss they can to the room where Kazumi and their friends who were playing were, but what they found when they reached the room was.
"We're late," Shirou said. "Sakura, Luvia, Asakura, Haruna and Nodoka have been attacked by the enemy."
"They are all became stone sculptures," Negi said, "What kind of magic can make them all like this!"
"Petrification," Rin said. "The five of them were exposed to the highest magic from the stone element, petrification, and whoever did this magic, he was a person who was very skilled in magic and had strong magical energy. "
"So what we can do now," Negi said. "What should we do?"
"I can get them all back to normal using Elixir," Shirou said. "But we can do that later, now we better look for Arturia, Yue and Chachamaru the three of them should be in that room together with Sakura and the others but there is no statue of the three, so I think the three of them are at least safe! "
"Your words are indeed true Shirou," Rin said. "But don't forget that the target of the enemy is Konoka-san, but in this room there is no Konoka-san and Asuna. So there is a chance that the two of them is still safe, try to contact Asuna through the pactio card so that we at least know Asuna's condition."
"Ah, I didn't think about that!" Shirou said who immediately took out his main pactio card. "Asuna-san! Asuna-san!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Shirou!" Asuna said. "where are you !?"
"Ah I remember now! Telepathia," Asuna said. "Shirou how are you doing? Konoka is with me right now."
"Thank God, Asuna-san," Shirou said. "You and Konoka-san are in good condition. "
"Actually, what the hell is happen in the temple!" Asuna said. "All of a sudden all the inhabitants of the Genbi temple became a stone statue."
"The enemy from before has lauch the attack, so be careful!" Shirou said.
"What !? But are the enemy has been defeated!" Asuna said.
"Anyway, please take care of Konoka-san, she will definitely be targeted again," Shirou said. "Bring Konoka-san near to the hot spring, me, Rin and Negi will go to there."
"Okay!" Asuna said.
"Asuna, what have happened?" Asked Konoka.
"Crazy aunts who tried to kidnap you on the first night of the study tour and this afternoon in the film village are after you again," Asuna answered. "Therefore we will now gather with Shirou and the others so that we are safer."
"Crazy aunts, you mean that weirdo who wearing a monkey costume." Konoka said.
"That's right," Asuna said, "But that's okay, because I'll protect you!"
"Adeat!" Asuna said bring out her harisen. "Trace On!" And then she using reinforcement magic.
