Zazie: I cannot be your lover. Please trust me anyway.
Negi: S-sure. *whispering* Kaede, why did you tell her that?
Kaede, whispering: Because i thought it would help her if she had a little fun, de gozaru.
Negi, whispering: Kaede!!
Zazie: You thought it would help if i got...laid?
Negi: EEP!
Kaede: Well, yes. It calmed down many of our other classmates. I thought it would work for you as well, de gozaru.
Zazie: I see.
Kaede: Then will you do it?
Negi: KAEDE!!
Zazie: He said he would trust me without doing that. So i won't.
Negi: I see.
Zazie: Negi-sensei isn't interested in me anyway.
Kaede: Why do you say that?
Zazie: I see how he looks at Miyazaki and Kagurazaka. Even at you, Nagase. He doesn't look at me that way.
Kaede: Is that true?
Negi: YIKES!!! I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i....!!!
Kaede: Why don't you look at Zazie that way, de gozaru?
Negi: HUH?!
Kaede: She's not unattractive, right Negi-sensei?
Negi: I-i-i-i...i suppose not....
Kaede: Then...?
Negi: I...I DON'T KNOW!! I JUST DON'T LOOK AT HER THAT WAY!!
Zazie: Why not?
Negi: EH?!
Zazie: If i'm not unattractive, there should be no reason, right? Unless you were lying.
Kaede: That sounds right.
Negi: Who's side are you on, Kaede?!
Kaede: I'm on the side of truth and love, de gozaru.
Zazie: Do you find me attractive or were you lying?
Her eyes showed complete indifference, so saying he was lying probably wouldn't make Zazie hate Negi. Still, she is a teenage girl, and every teenage girl is self-conscious to some degree, especially around handsome boys their own age. |
