"Haah finally with this we can go back to Mahora!" Asuna said while using the guise of a child with cat ears. "I really can't wait!"
"W-well, but-but we can't forget to pick up Y-Yue who I'm sure is still part of the festival security force of the Ostia Festival," Nodoka said who wore the same disguise as Asuna.
"We will definitely pick up, Yue-san," Shirou said who was still in Archer form. "A few minutes ago I just saved Yue's friend from Ariadne that almost fell from a high place. And I'm sure we will meet Yue soon."
Nodoka felt a bit doubtful about Shirou's words because basically she didn't have a very close relationship with Shirou. The relationship between the two of them was just classmates nothing more than that.
But what Nodoka didn't expect was that Shirou's words immediately came true. Because a few seconds after Shirou saying that, Yue and Emilia walked right in front of Shirou, Nodoka and Asuna while eating ice cream.
Nodoka's eyes widened, because she felt shocked. Nodoka didn't expect at all that the words of someone she didn't really trust would actually come true. Because right now her closest friend, Yue, was walking with someone she didn't know.
And because she had not seen Yue for a long time and felt a deep longing for her best friend, Nodoka reflexively uttered Yue's name and this made the special magic that made her unrecognizable by others not active at all.

"So that's how the story goes, we have to fight a mysterious criminal organization for the sake of saving the world!"
Haruna who was currently in her middle age lady form shouted loudly to explain the outline of what really happened to Natsumi, Ako, Akira, Yuuna and Makie so they could know about Ala Rubra and Ala Alba.
And the reason Haruna is in her middle age lady form is because Rin used a curse to make Haruna in her middle age lady form permanently.
All the problems started because Haruna had a lot of debt due to her losing the bet in Negi's fight against Rakan so that Rin had to pay all of Haruna's debts.
Rin is annoyed that he has to lose a lot of money, because of Haruna.
Finally to punish Haruna, Rin uses a curse to make Haruna become a middle-aged aunt who has severe gout.
"So we have to face enemies of Shirou-kun and Negi father, huh?" Yuuna said who looked very excited. "Well, because now Shirou-kun's father is also here, I think, later he will also be the one who will solve the problems he hasn't had time to solve. Or maybe Shirou-kun will defeat ths main enemy later, considering that Shirou-kun is the main character in this adventure."
"Oii Yuuna, I thought you'd be excited after hearing my story, but how come you're not excited and are speaking in a manner of speaking as if you're destroying a four-dimensional wall!" Haruna shouted holding her waist in pain due to gout.
"After all, as long as Shirou-kun is around, we will surely return safely to Mahora, right? That's why I'm not excited because Shirou-kun can solve all the problems that exist alone without anyone's help!" Yuna said. "I'm speaking in a speech style as if I'm breaking down a four-dimensional wall anyway because I saw Shirou-kun has a very strong protagonist aura! Negi also has the same aura, but unfortunately he doesn't have the same maturity as Shirou-kun, because Negi is only ten years old, plus if Negi who will became the protagonist of this adventure. I'm sure the mess that's happened to us all will get worse. Because somehow I can feel that Negi has worse luck than Shirou-kun."

Haruna couldn't argue with Yuuna's words which made a lot of sense. Even Natsumi, Akira, Ako and Makie agreed with Yuuna's words.
"Arrrgh come on, instead of talking about Shirou-kun and Negi, I gathered all of you in the backyard of this Emiya residence to talk about more important things!" Haruna said excitedly. "I want to talk about Pactio! Pactio! You four don't know about Pactio do you!"
"Ah, you mean kissing the opposite sex or doing blood contracts to get special tools that have special powers right?" .Makie said who didn't look surprised when Haruna talked about Pactio."Rin-san already told me about it, Yuuna, Akira, Ako and Natsumi and we are scheduled to do Pactio later, me with Negi-kun, Natsumi with Kotarou-kun while Yuuna, Akira and Ako with Shirou-kun."
"Aaaah again Rin thinking ahead of me!" Haruna shouted while holding her head with both hands. "Uurgh whereas I wanted to see everyone's reactions when I told you about Pactio, I really didn't expect that you guys already knew about Pactio!"
"Rin-san told us, that Pactio is needed so we don't need our memories erased by other magicians because we already know about magic," Akira said with a face that looked calm. "That's why she scheduled us to do a pactio, Makie wants to do it with Negi-Sensei because she has feelings for Negi-Sensei. Natsumi wants to do it with Kotarou-kun for the same reason as Makie.
While Ako because she already knows that Shirou-kun is Alexander-kun. Me and Yuuna we did it because we like Shirou-kun."
"I-I can't wait to kiss Negi-kun!" Makie said whose face was red.
"I-I want to do Pactio a-so I can protect Ko-Kotarou-kun," Natsumi said who looked nervous. "Because all this time I've always been protected by Kotarou-kun."
"Aaaahn, to be a partner of Alexander-kun who is originally Shirou-kun? Why not!" Ako saix whose eyes were sparkling. "It was like a dream come true."
"D-don't get me wrong I actually wanted to have a pactio with my father!" Yuuna said in tsundere mode. "But-but since incest is something immoral, th-then my only option is to do Pactio with Shirou-kun, a man much cooler than my father!"

Nodoka not only said Yue's name, she also openly hugged Yue tightly while saying;
"Yue! You're safe! I was worried about your condition after we parted ways at Gateport! Thank goodness you're okay!"
Yue was taken aback by Nodoka's action, while Emily, who was just as surprised as Yue, could only remain silent without being able to do anything because she didn't know what to react.
Asuna and Shirou couldn't help but pat their faces at Nodoka's stupidity just now. Because Nodoka had just exposed her identity in front of Emily and Yue who were members of the security forces.
"No-Nodoka!"
Yue was one hundred percent sure that she had never met the little cat-eared girl who was currently hugging her, but somehow she felt a deep longing when the little girl who hugged her and at that moment a name popped into Yue's head and that name was came out of her mouth.
"Nodoka!" Shirou shouted. "Do you realize what you just did!"
Shirou's screams finally made Nodoka realize the big mistake she had just made. Nodoka's face turned pale, because she reflexively hugged and said Yue's name she knew that she had just dug her own grave.
"A-ano who are you, huh?" Asked Yue who was still confused by what happened. "Wh-how could I know your name and how could you recognize me? Do you know who I really am because if I'm being honest right now I'm losing my memory."
"A-Archer-san Y-Yue really lost her memory exactly like you said," Nodoka said who deliberately called Shirou as Archer. "H-how is this!"
"Archer-kun! That lamb-eared girl already knows that me and Nodoka are fugitives!" Asuna said who looked panicked when she saw Emily draw her sword. "I don't want to hurt that girl so what should we do!"
"Sigh, you're causing trouble for all of us Nodoka," Archer said as he pulled Nodoka and Asuna's bodies closer to himself and prepared to dive into his shadow together with Nodoka and Asuna so the three of them could escape.
